I traveled about 4 or 5 times on CX last year. Mumbai, Osaka, KL, Beijing, Shanghai. Each trip was economy and I think my company's travel agent (Swire Travel, the same mob as CX) book the cheap ass fares so I only earn between 10 and 20 club points on each round trip. So I earned somewhere between 50 to 100 club points last year.
Today I get a letter from Cathay saying that even though I hadn't met their 100 point minimum for retaining green, they were going to let me keep it anyway for another year. I repeat for clarity, this is the bottom of the rung green card they are trying to take away. These motherfuckers sound like they are doing me some kind of 'favour' by letting me stay a member of their club.
Honestly Cathay, I have the lowest fucking green card that for all intents and purposes gives fuck all in terms of benefits, it costs you very little to maintain me as a green member. I really don't give a rats ass if you take it away from me, but please stop harassing me about it. If you don't want someone that flew 4 or 5 times on your aircraft last year in your bottom of the rung membership program then so be it and just go ahead and take my card away already ffs and stop pretending to do me favours.
