Yes I can say that I am no longer contributing to the crowding of the J lounges

#cxowngoalThe crazy thing is since going over to AA, I would have made DM each year, but I wish I had made the move a lot earlier!

By my calculations, I will be hitting 60 points shy of DM when I renew next month. While there are a lot of examples here of people getting renewed with more points shy of 1200, my recent J long haul flying were going to QR and JL. My regional (mostly Y) still goes to CX though with the almost weekly hops to SEA/China. So DM still has great value for me.
Should I be concerned that they might not consider when the time comes and just look at getting those points instead? Hoping someone was in a similar situation?

I don't think any of us can predict the likelihood of getting bumped up to DM. Seems like the best move is to ask for an extension before your member year elapses and see if they either bump you up or at least give you the extension.
I'm predicting to be in a similar situation at the end of my year, likely 65CP short of DM.

As a data point: They just renewed my DM even if I was just asking for an extension. I was about 30CP shy before the membership year elapsed.
As for getting bumped up, I tried doing this while getting back to DM from GO back in 2016 and they would not bend then so I had to earn it. Although I know people who are given extension but none where a bump up would occur just because you asked for it.
