Emirates Airlines Skywards - confusion!!

The Skywards website says " your skywards miles will be reset to zero after one year"....

but then it provides a date of expiry for my miles that is almost two and a half-years from now? contradictory or just something i don't understand?...

i know that the tier miles are set to zero each year but the skywards accmlated miles too?

Secondly, an advertisement on the website tells that you can get upgrades for as low as 5,000 miles...whereas the skywards website indicates upgrades STARTING from 15,000 miles?...

A noob!

tier is reset.. not the regular miles.. those last for 3 years and expire on the month of your birthday.

not sure about the advert.. but i know you can get an egate card for 5k miles.. maybe thats what it meant.. you can get rewards for 5k+

Only Tier miles are reset and you need 25k tier miles per year to retain your silver and 50k tier miles to get to gold and retain it. Other miles which you earn through bonus miles and credit card spends last 3 years.
