EK Global Sale Survey

I just received a targeted email, asking me to complete a very brief survey on the recent EK global sale. Obviously, the sale was a great success (some one did tell me the actual revenue increase over same time last year, but I forget what it was).

Questions went something like this:
  1. Were you travelling for business/pleasure?
  2. How did you hear about the sale?
  3. Did you decide to travel just because of the sale or was the trip you booked already planned?
Makes me think that EK are wanting to try and figure out why the campaign was so successful and how to target more people in future.

Did you buy a ticket (or tickets) during the sale?

I made the mistake of buying most of my tickets a few months before, otherwise I could have saved $2000-3000. Oh well.

Got the survey too. If EK keeps doing this sales, I'll definitely fly more on EK!

I think the mail has been sent to anyone who purchased a ticket during the global sale, regardless of the amount spent.

I only bought one ticket worth ~ 600 USD and I too received this email.

A few days ago I received an email from a hotel brand asking me to fill out a form and as a special thanks I will be given 2500 points^

No such offer from EK

So do you mean an increase of 20%, or really an increase of 120% (which would mean more than double last year's revenue)?
