EGT, with 300k+ you should be among the target segment, right?
Spoke with Skywards Gold Desk to try to get some information on the 4th tier but nothing doing.
It does seem however as though the new tier will be sector based. If this is the case and excludes local traffic it makes no sense. You can fly 45 sectors in J from KHI - DXB cost of return J class fare is US$720 you will earn around 2,000mile per sector. So for 45 sectors you earn 90,000mile and EK earn US$32,4000. Compare this to someone making 10 long haul flights JFK - DXB cost of J class return fare is US$9,500. So for 10 sectors you earn 150,000miles and EK earn US$95,000. If the scheme is to be believed the numbers do not add up.
