Marco Polo anniversary upgrades on CX/KA
I was taking a KA flight earlier today (now a part of Cathay Pacific), when they told me I would be getting a free one-class upgrade because it was my 5-year anniversary as a member!
A pleasant surprise, of course.
But I was wondering if anyone else knew of other goodies I may be in for as a loyal Marco Polo member?
I've read 10 years warrants an upgrade. How about mileage milestones? Sector milestones?
Thanks.

I was flying HKG-JFK back in early April and asked about the anniversary upgrade as I joined Marco Polo Club in March 1999. I was not given an upgrade and they told me that these benefits do not exist anymore- so sad.

This has been talked about often before. Some have gotten it, some have not. Count me as the one that has not gotten the 5-year upgrade, and I'm coming up on 10year and I'm not holding my breath.
Since being a GO member I have 50% of my long-haul/short-haul op-up, so I'm not really complaining.

I find 50% a bit hard to take to be honest. I went for nothing to Gold in only a few months. Been DM very shortly after that. I would say I fly 4 to 6 flights a month with CX over the last 3 years and I can count on one hand the number of upgrades to F. I never fly Y so maybe thats the reasson

Like I said: GO + BN1 = op-up...
