Using AirAsia rewards for a AirAsia X upgrade

Cash or points
When you reach the bid step on AirAsia X, you'll see whether your offer can be paid in AirAsia rewards points, cash, or a mix. The available options depend on the route, fare, and offer shown for your booking.
Earning on an upgraded cabin
Note that miles/points are usually earned based on your original fare class, not the upgraded cabin — check your program's specific rules.
