Here's a question for you - You figured out how to gain status on Emirates. After that, are you doing any trips that would benefit from that newfound status? What are you looking to gain from the trips? Redeemable miles? Status to use on future flights?

From reading your post, it doesn't really seem like you have plans to use your status once you gain it. Is your main point just to have status? If not, what is your goal?
