Angry Emirates Skywards

The proposed improvement in the Skywards programme is at the request of customers (I am told, not all customers- no one asked us about the changes) and is to reward those who pay more for fares. Who ever heard of a reward without a reward, but one that punishes the lower fare paying customer (saver fare). This lower fare category will now earn 50% miles instead of 100% and the flexi fare (the rewarded one) gets the 100% of the reduced offereing. Skywards now seems not to offer miles for distance travelled, but a lesser mount of miles.

They seem intent on screening out a lot of passesgers who now have gold tier membership. Remember the attempt earlier this year to exclude silver and gold members from the new Dubai Lounge? The changes are disguised with offering other benefits throughout the year. Come on Emirates do the right thing and leave miles for distance travelled for all customers and if you want to reward some, then reward not punish.
