Miles earnings with stopover
Trying to price a rather long and weird routing and EK seems to be calculating too few miles earned:

CPT - (DXB) - HYD [stopover] - (DXB) - HKG [stopover] - BKK [stopover] - SYD [stopover] - AKL [stopover] - (DXB) - CPT

It is calculating CPT - HYD, HYD- DXB, DXB-AKL and AKL-CPT as sectors for mileage earning, meaning DXB - HKG - BKK - SYD - AKL earns the same as DXB - AKL direct, despite several stopovers on the way.

Is this right or just a glitch? See below.

PS: Prices at $1836 in Y, with the AKL-DXB direct service on the return. If you're wondering why I'm looking? I've got time and these types of itineraries often price out quite nicely on EK vs individual returns/OJs
