How to avoid MPC joining fee?
Are there ways to avoid paying the US$50 MPC joining fee? I live in Shanghai. I fly KA/CX about twice per month in V or Y and have BA Silver. Thanks!

You can join asiamiles and put your earning to asiamiles. Once you get enough miles/sectors, they may invite you to MPC silver status. However this might only happen after say 35,000 miles or 25 sectors, meaning that you will have wasted 5,000 miles / 5 sectors that could have been put towards gaining Gold status.
If you are sure you want to be a MPC member, you are best to pay the fee.

Next time, when you do fly J or F, either on paid/award ticket or being op-up'ed, get a MPO application form from the ISM, attached your BP with the filled form, then you do not need to pay the US$50.
