Officially, you cannot requalify DM at 1100...

Right, which is why I was wondering if there are data points on whether there is any difference...

Probably no difference as regards the publicized benefits. At the end of 2023, CX offered members lower threshold to renew membership at different tiers for the year 2024, e.g. Diamond with as low as 840 points vs the original 1200 points. And I did not hear from people I know that they received fewer benefits vs normal Diamond as far as the benefits publicized on their website are concerned. But of course, probably not likely to be invited to CX Diamond exclusive events......

Any news on when this will happen and what will be the changes? I'll be waiting for this before I make any more bookings with CX.

There is no timeine or confirmed changes. This thread is purely speculation from surveys. CX hasn't confirmed any MPC changes yet. Only "real" change that's happening is the Boarding Group Trials, where SL boards with PEY (Group 3) instead of J (Group 2). GO Still boards with Group 2 (J) so I doubt there'd be any changes coming forward soon that impacts GO's value a lot, so I'd say you're safe booking with CX unless something in GO's perks mean a lot to you.

the new change should be mainly for DM benefit if i didnt get it wrong , heard that it will enhance a lot (but i dont believe it) . for GO , there is not much big change...... (if i didnt get it wrong)

change mainly affects DM and SL i believe.

DM: they want to get more money from them? but i don't think the changes will necessarily help
SL: they're just devaluating this

Another point about MPC change: I kind of hope CX has household accounts, so AM transfer fees can be waived. This is important if there’s a high-tier member in a family who can unlock redemption seats, but most of the miles from credit card belongs to another family member.

Easy work around is AM from wife's card is credited to my account

They just keep devaluating SL. They already got rid of being able to select extra legroom seats for free and extra check-in weight. Are there really too many SLs lining up in the J queue for this to be a problem that other members are complaining about?

Because CX knows as long as SLs have unlimited lounge access, there will be people willing to chase it no matter what, even if other perks got cut to make GO more appealing.

Do credit card companies check the names between credit card and MPC ac? I recall years ago it has to match. Thanks.

If that's the case, then supplement card should take care of it.

SL Used to be able to select front row seats (the ones at the forward of the Y cabin, not extra legroom/bulkheads) and that was removed some time for a while now. I think CX's long term plan would be to limit lounge access to SL to solve problems of lounge crowding and overflow of SL.

SL was able to select extra legroom/bulkheads until around 2022.
