But the points made above relate primarily to elite status on AFKL. The Flying Blue FFP used to be quite generous, but it drastically changes on April 1 and becomes unattractive to say the least. Gold and Plats (equivalent to CX DM) have very few perks (except bonus miles). There seems to be little recognition and advantages to be elite on AFKL.

I am AA EXP based on 5 trips last year yyz to HKG and other points in Asia mostly on CX. The reason I am in AA's program rather than MPC is because I could pay my expenses on an AA Visa with a Canadian bank. This year I am forced to use a corporate card so I am beat for the double dipping. I have done 1 trip this year with the following legs on CX yyz-hkg-mnl, cgk-hkg,hkg-pek-hkg-yyz. If anything I will be travelling more this year than last
Would CX give me a match to my AA EXP and at what level.
Thanks

Indeed! Actually fairly easy to reach Plat using AMEX card if you are based in France, or the lower "foreign" level if you are based in Asia. But Plat is their highest level, so they have plenty of them and Plats get very little benefits and recognition. very different model from CX or BA.

I just sent off a request to have my CO Gold comped to MPC Gold. I sent an email to the MPC address and attached PDFs of my CO end-2008 statement and my CO Gold card. I signed up for MPC beforehand, and hope that might help even a wee bit.

SQ Gold comped to CX Silver
Earlier this month, I was able to get SQ Gold comped to CX Silver for one of my family members. When I asked for comp direct to CX Gold, they declined.
This was just regular KrisFlyer Gold, no PPS status.

Most likely a Silver comp if at all. That is if you don't happen to fly to Hongkong or mainland China on a frequent basis in the higher fare classes.

You don't need to sign up for MPC beforehand and waste the US$50. When they comp you they will waive that charge.
