While you may well get your 0.5mm miles upgrade, I never saw this "freeze" the system before as a premonition of good news to come. In fact, I HAVE been upgraded in OLCI before but it was plain as day that I was - my seat was now available for selection in the class higher. In that case (ex MNL), the plane was just so ridiculously oversold in Y and presumably empty in J that CX was able to make that determination very early.

Finally, I never got any milestone for a 5 year consecutive DM...but I did get a 5 year anniversary for MPC, and I was a DM at that time. IF it makes sense.
