- As a Platinum Member, you have accrued 145,000 kilometers or 80 flight segments.
- A Platinum Member who has flown 1 million kilometers on a cumulative basis on Air China-operated and CA-coded flights since joining Air China PhoenixMiles Program is a lifetime Platinum Member entitled to relevant benefits.

- Matching with Star Alliance
- From the day Air China is admitted to the Star Alliance, an Air China PhoenixMiles Elite Member automatically becomes a Star Alliance Elite Member.

Every time you fly with any of the Star Alliance member carriers, the mileage or flight segments you accrue count towards your Elite Member status.
