ACB: Book Your Hometown Tickets, Reserve Tet Hotels, and Earn Lotusmiles Elite Status Faster

With Lotusmiles Pay—a co-branded payment card by ACB, Vietnam Airlines, and Visa—large expenses are transformed into miles and opportunities for tier upgrades, offering a new approach to optimizing your membership journey.

Turning Every Purchase into Membership Benefits

In Vietnam Airlines’ Lotusmiles program, Gold status unlocks a range of practical perks: lounge access, priority check-in, boarding, extra baggage, and faster mile accrual. Traditionally, achieving Gold requires 30,000 miles or 27 qualifying flights annually.

However, Visa’s Asia-Pacific travel spending report reveals that middle- and upper-income Vietnamese households allocate 20–30% of their annual budget to travel, primarily during holidays like April 30–May 1, September 2, and Tet.

This is where Lotusmiles Pay stands out. Combining a Vietnam Airlines membership card with an international payment card (available as credit or debit), it allows users to earn miles automatically at attractive rates across millions of global merchants. Beyond flights, every purchase—from hotel bookings to dining—contributes to miles and tier upgrades.

Spending approximately 800 million VND annually (67 million VND monthly) can secure Gold status—a feasible target for households with high holiday expenditures.

Rethinking Peak Season Spending

Some customers now view Tet as an opportunity to accelerate their membership progress rather than just a costly period.

Mr. N., an early Lotusmiles Pay adopter, shares: “I use the card for fixed expenses like family flights, weekend stays, and shopping. During Tet, 4 round-trip tickets and a post-holiday trip totaling nearly 200 million VND helped me reach Gold in months.”

“Those expenses were inevitable. With Lotusmiles Pay, they directly contribute to miles and upgrades. I’m advancing much faster than relying solely on flights,” he adds.

From January 1, 2026, ACB’s Tet Reunion Takeoff—Cashback with ACB Cards offers Lotusmiles Pay users up to 50% cashback (max 500,000 VND) on flights over 2 million VND and full Wi-Fi fee waivers on Vietnam Airlines. Tet travel spending not only eases financial pressure but also boosts membership progress—truly “doubling the value of essential spending.”

Beyond seasonal promotions, Lotusmiles Pay demonstrates ACB’s strategy of converting travel spending into long-term rewards. As mobility needs grow, linking finances to miles and tiers aligns perfectly with modern Vietnamese spending habits.
