I just had them offer me MPC normal with the $50 waived. I figured, what the heck and did it. They then sent an email asking for a copy of a statement from my current FF program. I emailed my AA EXP statement and was immediately comped to Gold/OW-Sapphire. Keep in mind this is all initiated by them, I never asked for MPC club or much less a comp.
Sadly, I see little use in just MPC Gold when I'm already AA EXP. Am I missing something? (Besides the free Admiral's Club for domestic US.- which I have through BA anyhow.)

Guaranteed availability on CX in any economy fare class down to V at 72 hours notice might be worth something to you? Plus an extra baggage allowance when travelling CX.

Actually CX Gold will only guarantee you economy class seats on CX / KA flights down to V class at 72 hours notice. To get a guarantee J seat at 24 hours notice, you need CX Diamond.

In my case, no. Guaranteed availability is not of value to me. Nor is the extra baggage allowance as if you connect with any other airline you are hosed. Don't you get the extra in J anyhow regardless of status?

If you fly CX and KA, you can have seat guarantee and have a higher chance of op-up or birthday upgrade (not guaranteed). IMHO, seat guarantee is the most important benefit of all.

You can get additional allowance in J with certain status. I am not sure about GO. I know that is the case for DM. I usually travel with little luggage. So that does not really matter. It is just nice to know I can carry extra if I need to.

I'm quite happy with my MPC Gold. Rather useful also at hotels in Asia.

I've not been able to find any info on this. Can you please elaborate or give a couple of examples?

What extra in J? Baggage allowance? No you don't. 30kg when weight based. + max 5-10kg given on a case-by-case basis at check-in.
(mod hat off) I think CX MPC is giving out comps to the wrong people IMO. MPC comped OP above on his AAdvantage status. Which is in the same alliance.
Pity that OP does not see the value of what MPC Gold is - which is sometimes equivalent or has higher standing than his AA EXP (OW Emerald) when it comes to clearing waitlists (even in J) or op-ups.
