Hi,

My membership year ends on 30th June and I'm a few thousand miles away from re-qualifying for diamond. CX have already confirmed my extension and I will have a flight on the 2nd July that will give me the necessary miles to re-qualify. In the interim, CX told me I would be temporarily be downgraded to gold and then once I have hit 120k I call them and they manually upgrade me.

My question is - does anyone have any idea how long it takes for this downgrade to register on the system? Will it be instant? Or is there a chance that when I fly on the 2nd July I will still be diamond? Not sure if it makes any difference (on the status front, as I know miles on partners will take longer to register), but I will be flying AA and BA on the 2nd July and not CX

Any insights appreciated!
