But I do feel more difficult to move up the DM tier now than from SL to GO, maybe because of the 2015 MPC program revamp and/or DM status? Anyway, thanks very much for sharing your experience!!
Similarly to you I was moved to SL and GO early with some missing points, but I did write MPC an email on this matter as I was switching from star alliance to OW so I had no lounge access unless flying J.
On the SL email I had sent it was basically no issue at all.
For SL to GO I was missing 20 TP 6 months into the SL membership and I didn't want my next 90 TP long haul to be credited 20 TP and the remaining 70 going lost so I kindly asked them to move me up.

Now im 3 months into my GO membership and over half-way to DM but surely they wouldn't even budge if I wrote them a kind email.
You could always try asking them but unless you really need the DM membership immediately I don't think they would do it. Besides, it looks like you'll have no trouble getting there anyways...
