Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - DM vs DM+ Card Design

Apologies if someone has covered this before, but I couldn't find an old thread on this. I've always wondered what a DM+ card looks like, and I think a lot of people assumed that it may look the same. Today, I finally found the answer:

Diamond (DM) / Invitation (IN):

Diamond Plus (DP):
http://imageserver.hk/CPLP/MMS_images/live/236/MPO/top_card_dp.jpg

Thought it may be of interest to others.

IIRC, on IN cards, there's a line of italic text under the Marco Polo/Cathay Pacific logo on the top right corner that reads "Invitation". Perhaps hairpeace could help us with that? :D

Well from the same source, here's the card design for Invitation (IN):

It looked the same as Diamond, so I didn't post it separately, but perhaps CX hasn't got these images 100% accurate or didn't bother to capture the IN card image separately for this purpose.

on DM cards, the left vertical text is DM DM DM
on DM IN cards, the left vertical text is DM IN DM
on DM PLUS cards, the left vertical text is DM PLUS DM PLUS; and the shark's fin is made of a more reflective material - not sure why in press photos the reflective sheen looks like an irish flag ...

NB : i don't have any of the above DM cards. though i would to think my amex might manage to slot in among the three in terms of coolness :D

so what's the deal abt Diamond Plus?? Any latest updated extra benefits?

It hasn't changed since its introduction, as far as I know.

I beleive any of the DM benifits, (normal DM, DM IN or DM+) it's all about the un-documentmented benifit's......those are what makes the DM card worthwhile.......

On paper, the benfits dont seem as great as when u actually experience....

No new extra benefits

True that. Since this forum doesn't like secondary sources I won't bother posting them. But my rich ....... friend in LAX is DM Plus and sometimes I can't believe the "perks" he gets and all are undocumented.

CAre to elaborate on what these perks are?

Would love to hear what these are as I am getting absolutely nothing from my DMP status (besides a DM companion card)

Is the companion DM a "regular" DM card or invitation DM?
