Instant — usually under a minute
This transfer pair is marked instant and typically posts within seconds to a few minutes. Even so, occasional system delays happen — wait until you see the points in your destination account before doing anything else. These are typical times, not guarantees — always confirm award space first because transfers can't be reversed.
Cancellation: cancellation has a fee
$120 cancellation fee (or 17,000 miles) — one of the most expensive in the industry.

Points expiration
Rove: Rove Miles never expire as long as your account remains active.
Asia Miles: Cathay Asia Miles use a flexible model: miles are valid for at least 18 months and can be extended up to 36 months total by earning more miles. Effectively a hybrid hard-and-soft clock.
Heads up: your Rove points don't expire, but Asia Miles points (after transfer) do.
