CX - Marco Polo Club might comp you to Silver but I highly doubt they will comp you to Gold. MPO Gold is equivalent to BA Silver. BA does not have a Ruby level which is what MPO Silver is.
Once you get Silver, you have one year to get 60K miles to attain Gold. Once you reach Gold, you will then have another year to attain 120,000 miles to attain Diamond. Which is equivalent to BA's Gold.
Diamond members receive 1st priority on upgrades on CX fully booked flights.
