I have had look at the Emirates website, and seen they also have TP's & Miles. Are there any hacks for Emirates like there used to be for BA? for example hotel & flight or Flight & Car get double TP during a promotion period?

Thanks

I believe the best way is to sign up for the credit card to get one year of EK Gold status, then you'll have to earn it the regular way afterwards.

Skywards plus, premium subscription, gets you 20% more tier miles per flight, but it's around 1000 USD per year.

Codeshare with Qantas.
