Give it a few more tries. DM is another level for CX fliers. I am so spoiled now I don't know how I will do once I travel less.... anyway, if I can't even make CX GO I am definitely going with a US-based airline.
This recent trip I got upgraded, and the Senior Purser obviously took note of my DM and went the extra step to take care of me. Very friendly service, all the food serve come to me first (I'm sitting in row 20) and then to others, and when I'm working mid-flight she would come every 20 or so minutes to see if I needed anything (drinks, snacks, etc.) Even told me if I wanted any caviar from F but I declined, never like that expensive crap anyway. Great! ^
