18,000 bonus miles for J/F ticket

Just got this e-mail today, apparently 18m Skywards members now! Any bets on break-up per tier? 17.5m blue, 400k silver, 80k gold, 20k plat?

Fly return from certain countries (quite a decent list) to Dubai or via Dubai to any global destination and by 31 August in J or F and earn 18k bonus miles + miles earned regularly on the flight. One-way earns half the bonus miles.

From the T&Cs:

The bonus Miles will be awarded for flights originating from the following countries: Canada, the United States, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and South Africa; for travel to Dubai or via Dubai to any of our other global destinations.
The body of the e-mail:

We’re thrilled to let you know that Emirates Skywards has reached 18 million members in just 18 years, and we’re celebrating by giving you an exclusive bonus Skywards Miles offer*.

Take a return flight in First Class or Business Class to Dubai and beyond**, and you’ll earn 18,000 additional Miles on top of those you’ll already earn for the flight.

We’re constantly adding partners so that you can earn and spend Skywards Miles in even more ways: from airline, hotel, car rental and lifestyle partners; to sports tickets and more.

- Book by 15 July 2017
- Travel by 31 August 2017
This seems quite generous for an EK promotion, especially if flying J. Unfortunately nothing for us in the back of the bus

Hate to be the bearer of bad news – but every time I see an offer like this it makes me shiver inside as I feel that there's a devaluation of miles about to come. I hope that it's not true

It doesn't show up on my offers online either...maybe only shows up if you are included in the promotion.

It says Skywards miles, so no. I'd paste the link but it has a lot of custom tracking code in it so not sure if it's tied to my account.

It's almost exactly a year since my last paid J fare was booked and flown so maybe that's related?
