2) People other than the OP may read the thread which is titled "Buying Skywards" and might benefit from the information.
That's exactly the card I was thinking of and it will continue to get a discount if used to buy/gift Skywards miles, as discussed on here recently.
Oops. thought this was the BA forum.
I agree with your point that your post might help others looking for information..
But
The OP did say that he/she is new to Emirates. As far as I know , you cannot buy skywards miles onto a new account ( it should have had at least one flight with EK or a partner airline.)
