I got the following message when I logged onto Skywards today:

We're delighted to announce that your Skywards Gold card now supports Dubai Immigration's e-technology providing e-gate privileges at Dubai International Airport.

This complimentary service makes your Skywards Gold card even more useful, as one card provides exceptional Gold privileges and e-gate technology. After completing the activation process, you will be able to sail through entry and exit procedures at Dubai International Airport in as little as 5 seconds using your Skywards Gold card. To find out more click here

The follow-up info states E-gate is available for all UAE visa waiver country residents. Is this just out of date or a revision back to the former rules?

Cheers.
