CX to offer Amex Plat Cardholders from some countries MPC Gold status
Yep. In addition to this : http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/catha...nd-status.html, CX has once again teamed up with Amex to offer their Platinum card holders from certain countries MPC Gold status.
A friend from Singapore just wrote to tell me of what CX had just offered him.
Edited to add: I don't know which countries. You would just have to wait for Amex to offer to you.

This is a very sad day indeed for long-standing members of the Marco Polo Club, watching their beloved Club self-destruct right before their very eyes. May it rest in peace! :'(

I can't wait to see someone starts a new thread "Amex gold gets MPC SL" 
Sounds like all the complains sent to MPC regarding the DM offer isn't enough to stop them
But at least this time you need to buy a CX F/J fare to be eligible in India

Well spotted, hadsst. 
Back in 2004, Citibank Platinum Visa Card Holders in Singapore were offered MPC Gold for flying 6 CX F/J Sectors within 3 months: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/46685968...atinum-Airline
So CX has probably been doing this for a long time, except it seems to be widening the campaigns and lowering the requirements.

(Note: This tier needs 60K of their status miles, which should be equivalent to OW emerald when it formally joins OW I suppose.)

Note another offer from Amex is to give out FREE gold membership (without purchase) for Kingfisher's King Club to cardholders in India, which may actually be more attractive than the CX Gold offer.

He hasn't flown on CX for a year now so although having CX GO might be an incentive, I don't know if he's willing to give CX a go again.
