I talked to DM+ team in the last Xmas Cocktail Reception, there were 20K+ DM globally.
I see you guys on 9/5! Are they going to reveal 2020 new F/J?
I noticed that only my colleagues earning > 1800 CP were invited
Most of them were invited in new product (new F/J) studies
Heard Low yield DM colleagues just touching 1200 CP were not invited
Little share:
Recently I had 4 double op-up with no reasons in addition to milestone and birthday occasion although PEY seats were available. And MPO manager Nicolas Masse met me up at jet bridge once when I deplaned. Briefly talked 15 mins. So special in the last few months. Hope there is something gonna happen end of this year
(DM+ review in December). Now CP is 3000 and still have 2 months to target at least 3600 hopefully ^^
Say hi when met!

this is interesting, if this is true...because I think I'm certainly far from being DM+, at least based on the flights that I credited to MPO. unless they indeed are able to capture my total "value" based on my other accounts esp BA? I usually just try to meet 1800 club points with MPO (i.e. usually it means exactly 52 x 35 club-points short-haul J flights). that's like 1/4 of my # flights last year...the other 3/4 are mostly CX/KA too and/or many higher value long haul J/F flights that I usually credit to BA where I get another 8k or so tier points a year...always wonder how/whether they capture such multi-oneworld-account situations.

I know that awards are just a part of the MPO experience, but those going, could you please ask the powers that be, as to why CX is preferring to release award seats to partners, rather than to DMs, and if they’ve indeed increased award availability by 20% as promised, last June.
Yet as a OWE I'm really tired of the whole CX treating OW members > DM rhetoric.
MPO members get much better award availability than partner members (and that's logical). But if CX doesn't respect its membership hierarchy then that's a problem with MPO, not partner members. The problem is that CX doesn't release ANY award seats anymore, not that it's releasing secret extra seats to partners. Just because CX doesn't treat DMs well enough doesn't mean OWs get anything more than what's prescribed by the alliance. Please don't blame partners for everything.

Please read what I had posted - Nowhere did I blame any partner.
My point was for CX DMs to ask the CX team about something that I and other DMs have seen: CX awards that have been, or were, available to partner programs, but not to CX (And we booked via the partner program).

Trying to see HKG-NRT redemptions via BA in August...they aren't showing any availability same on CX.com

In either case, your rant about “CX treating OW members > DM rhetoric”, is possibly misplaced because there are people on this board, and indeed the thread, who have experienced that.
