Have you figured out how they determine who to target?
As far as what Customer Service told you, there's been a ton of incorrect information and broken promises disseminated by the CSRs. You just have to peruse these pages to see what I'm talking about. Sorry to sound so harsh, but it's the new reality around here. Welcome to Bonfire!
I used to think these double night promo is start appearing towards the end of year .... to entice members who close to qualify to next tiers to book some more trip to satisfy the qualification requirements.
Interestingly .... this time its happen quite early
(I also got this type of promotion form Emirates ... double tier miles as I was close to get Gold. Unfortunately my scheduled trip fall outside the promotion period
but I will still reach Gold anyway
