Needless to say, I am not advising you to do this, but since I got the email this morning from Emirates

Tanks for sharing this Tom, though it wouldn’t interest me at all just for the extra miles. I already have 100 of 1000’s so don’t need more.

I guess 10% off holidays is nice if you use Emirates holidays (I don’t) and the business class check-in when travelling Economy could be useful though I’m a bit fed up with people using those desks thus delaying those with a Business Class ticket just because they have a credit card.

More tangible benefits would be free excess insurance on car hire, elevation to a higher status with Hertz or any other major, seat upgrade vouchers for use on Emirates or even one or two lounge vouchers. This would in my opinion be much more useful.

I received the same and mulling it over. Whilst I find EK points useless for booking flights in the class and route i want I have burnt them to upgrade to F before. I have never bothered to get some plastic liked to miles before but I may well consider this one
