If I don't extend my DM by 31 Dec, will I be dropped to green given I haven't flown with CX the whole 2022 (trapped in the mainland)? Or is it a soft landing to GO?
Their website says "Your status will be determined according to the Status Points you accrue in 2022 as well as the points carried over from 2021 year-end balance. The normal rules for status renewal and upgrade apply." Not sure what that means.

If you had no oneworld flight activities in 2021, either, based on the T&C, you will be dropped to GR. If you had activities in 2021, it depends on when your membership year was and whether you had 1200 status points (chances are not I guess).
According to https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_....html?switch=Y, under "Status Points and Membership Status,"
Status Points will expire and will be reset to zero at the end of each Member’s Membership Period if the Member has not accrued the required number of Status Points to progress to the next immediate Status or maintain his/her current Status (except Green Status) during the Member’s Membership Period and the Member’s Status will be reset to Green Status.
PS: The verbiage doesn't make sense to me actually. It would imply, a DM earning 900 status points, for example, be dropped to GR instead of GO.

Good morning / afternoon / evening / night (Wherever you are),
Has anyone already been confirmed renewal of their status until Dec 2023? I know technically probably not, given that the T&Cs say this will only happen in Dec...
I am simply a bit nervous, as I don't see myself flying CX this year, I have flown QF but not in a fare bucket that counts, and I don't have any credit card of theirs nor an inclination to spend HKD5,000 at stuff that I don't want or need at inflated prices.
Having said that, I did take two award flights with a OW partner airline using my AsiaMiles, so I should be covered... Just wanting to make sure, of course!

I think I’m sorta in the same boat as you.. I’ve redeemed AM for two sectors on Alaska, but it’s “operated by Horizon Air as AlaskaHorizon”.
I spoke with two different agents and they are both sort of sure Horizon Air will count (for the purposes of status extension)..

my flights were with AY Finnair, and operated by their “proper” airline and not some random subsidiary that should count but sometimes vexingly doesn’t, so not really comparable to your own situation.
Hope they will recognise your Horizon Air flights for you!

Does anyone know if non-status point earning fare classes on OW airlines are eligible for the 2 sectors?
I’m thinking of booking a MH return domestic flight in Economy, but couldn’t seem to price the flights in a status point earning fare class.

Extending your membership status - Malaysia Airlines Flight
I called Cathay CS and I had to have booked on Malaysia Airlines in the follow fare classes
Economy: YBHKM
Business: FAPJCDZ
Which at the time the flights I was looking for on MH didn't have any economy classes above available. I haven't checked recently though.

I checked on this previously with Malaysia Airlines since I'm in KL

Important Notes
1. Asia Miles can be earned only in eligible fare classes on flights marketed and operated by Alaska Airlines or Horizon Air.

Does anybody have an answer to this? One of the Manila call centre agents told me if your status is extended to December 2023 then the mid-tier benefits would be as well but I have little confidence that the Manila agents know what they are talking about so looking for confirmation from someone else.

I've done more than enough sectors throughout 2022 to have status extended to end 2023 but not reflected in my account yet. My bookable upgrades (most valuable mid tier benefit I think) were not extended past their recent use by date despite attempts to use them (was able to use one on ultra short haul only).

Does anyone know or can confirm if I book say a KUL to SIN flight via Malaysia Airlines using this promo if it will extend my membership? I would 'assume' it would qualify me for point #3?
Fly 2 sectors6, 7, 8 on
Edit: realized the rewards search engine I'm using isn't related to this promo since i can still book rewards flights past the promo end.
