A family member received a package today from American Express (Hong Kong) offering one year's Diamond Membership. There is a form attached which has to be returned to American Express to upgrade an existing Asia Miles/Marco Polo membership.
It says it can take up to 6 weeks for the application to be processed.

My dad just got his letter from Amex, he doesn't know what to do with since he's already DM.
I trying to figure out though how much more you'd have to spend to get DM+ if one already flies only F longhaul for 120k miles a year... grant it some of the flights might be on OW carriers for round the world tickets.

I received the invitation from Amex HK this morning. Do not know what to do with it too since I am already a DM.
Now I have some doubts on whether this is a targeted promotion for skyhigh spending Centurion members only. My annual spending on the black card is really not very high to warrant an invitation I suppose. I hardly buy CX/KA tickets with the black card too, I usually credit them to Amex CX card for the miles

and the fear of an influx of DM members won't happen...

Very sad and wrong marketing decision in my opinion.
Being faithful definitely does not seem to pay.....
