An Emirates Skywards member who, at the discretion of Emirates Skywards, satisfies the conditions set out in clause one, will be awarded bonus tier Miles in addition to the tier Miles normally earned in respect of the flight.
The bonus multiple is calculated on the base Miles earned. The bonus applicable for this promotion is 100% additional base tier Miles in the eligible cabin class on eligible flights only.
Tickets purchased under Cash plus Miles are not eligible for the bonus.
If a member has registered for two or more Skywards promotions and has flown on a flight that qualifies for bonus Miles under each promotion, only the higher of the two eligible bonuses will be earned. This does not apply to the First Flight Bonus which is applied mandatorily.
Bonuses apply as per the original ticketed class, excluding any subsequent reward or complimentary upgrades, or other changes.
The Skywards member will be notified of the mileage credit in their membership statements or they can view their mileage online at emirates.com
Any tickets ineligible for normal Skywards Miles accrual are also excluded from earning bonus Miles. These are detailed in Skywards' terms and conditions.
Skywards members must adhere to the Skywards Programme Rules in order to remain eligible for the mileage credit.
This is pretty good, EK Silver gives you Business Lounge access in Dubai.
Keep in mind if you're already a status member with another airline (excluding QF and other EK partners), you should be able to get a status match straight to Silver already. You may need an EK booking (not sure), but even if you do, you'd at least get the benefits for your first flight with them.
