I got some 28000 or so miles parked at Emirates Skywards account..need another 23000 for the Gold membership. I was thinking about transfering these to my Jet Airways account as I have a London trip coming up so I could just buy a Y class ticket and upgrade both ways to Premiere after adding up my existing JP miles and the Skywards one.

My question is if I transfer these miles do I have to fly 50,000 again for Skywards Gold or are tier miles different from redeem miles ?

Thanks
