I'm just trying to vent and validating that regardless of my continued loyalty to CX, in the end, the benefits and perks are only as good as your last mile earned. I think Cathay Boy hit the nail in the head, that the main difference I am trying to allude to is not the stated benefits of the tier, but more on the attitude and how I was treated as a Silver rather than gold/diamond in this current trip.
