first plat 1.50 5624 plus 100%= 9343
so as I have ust moved from this FF program to emirates I was unaware-as maybe at least one other FF in the world may be

that Emirates only gives status bonus on base miles
My title WARNING was to actually warn other maybe new members that they cannot expect bonus miles. @:-)

Except they can expect bonus miles....

you only get the bonus on the economy miles not bus or first points as with all other airlines.

Just not on the First or Business Class bonus.

Perhaps a more appropriate title would be "Caution: No Status Bonus Miles on First / Business Class Bonus Miles"
