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.

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 theres 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.

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.

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.
