The 'old' Marco Polo Club , you got full mileage for all economy class flights, the usual 25% and 50% for Biz and First class, plus a 1,500 km bonus for every 6 sectors on Cathay Pacific. DragonAir flights are not considered for the 6 sector bonus. Every month too, there were promotions, where one could earn bonus kilometers for certain trips. SOmetimes in Biz class, sometimes in all classes or even sometimes for economy class only. Then when you reached a status elite level, you'd get a nice leather wallet to start with, booklets to advise you of special hotel deals you were entitled to, extra baggage allowance coupons and when you reached gold then, you were even given complimentary issues of OAG Executive Travel Planners. Gold members could also access the CX lounge anytime with one guest, even when not flying Cathay Pacific. So what happened?

Then they decided to relaunch "The Club". And now you have a much inferior product when compared to even other regional competitor carriers. I hope they wake up one day and smell the coffee.

I've already told them that they will lose my membership after next year. They haven't replied.
