Cathay DM Boy!

Called MPC after my latest round trip. Made the mistake of calling after the trip because all I needed was only a few thousand miles, but now they have reset the whole trip I've accumulated to zero (18,000 club miles, CRAP!)

But anyway, I joined DM! As promised I will update the group when I received the "package" - but the agent said I am DM effectively tonight when the system updates, and the card will be sent later.

Woo hoo!

Congrats! You should receive your package in about 48 hours. This is probably the only time MPC ever sends you anything via courier.

For me, I am dropping to Gold in a few days. I wrote MPC for an qualification extension more than two days ago. I have not even received a standard reply yet. In case it was lost, I am going to write them again within the next day.

Enjoy your DM.

Don't write, cxfan1960! Call them and get an answer right away. They did extend my MPC requalification date by a few months, once upon a time ago....and its better to get it done on phone.

Congrats Cathay Boy! ^
Hope to make it like you did by the end of my anniversary year
(still a long way to go though, just renewed GO 2 months ago)

Thanks, Guy Betsy. MPC sent me a reply a few minutes ago to extend my qual period just when I decided to call. It took them four days to reply (longer than usual, but perhaps that was due to my other question).

I shall enjoy my new Gold status for a few weeks.

I left the country never receving the package, however, my wife did and she told me it came by regular mail, not by courier.

So, I guess chalk up another budget cut for CX? Not that big of a deal, just saying I didn't get it through courier.

As you are no doubt anticipating, all of us here on the CX board are awaiting your posts on:
  • Seeing the DM package for the very first time
  • Opening up "the package"...
  • Type of glue used on the envelope
  • Comparison with the Gold Package
  • Comparison with the, now famous, bosses DM+ package
  • Comments on the benefits vis-a-vis the Gold package
