Now EK is refusing to credit the promotion miles for the DXB-SYD segment because they're claiming the ticket was re-issued outside the promotion period (when in fact the flight that I took remained within the promotion period).
There is nothing in their terms and conditions that excludes such scenario so I am surprised at their cheap'ish interpretation of this.
What do you think?
Send an email to Skywards and persist with it. Or next time you are passing thru DXB, see if the Skywards desk in one of the lounges will resolve it.
