Did anyone get their platinum card as yet? I'm due to fly on the 1st of April, and haven't received anything as yet. My gold card is expired, hope the e-gate function of the card is still working....

Not as yet. Flying 7th April, so awaiting with interest.

Moved

Platinum status
With all the new Platinum cards sent out at the same moment there may be a bit of a rush at the e-gate offices to update them.
By the way, anyone already nominated a partner for a Gold card? Does that other person have to be a Skywards member already? When do partners receive their card? |
My next trip is on Apr 9, let's see what happens.

Got mine a couple of days ago. I have not seen it yet but my assistant assures me a package with a Platinum card has been received and is on my desk. Looking forward to the unwrapping!

My boarding pass still said Gold. I quizzed her regarding how she knew - she said that they that received an email from DXB advising them that i would be traveling with them along with passenger list. I could see the difference in the attitude - crew was very hospitable, they repeated came to check on me, asked me if I need somethig or if they coud do somethign else to make my journey comfortable. It was niceeeeeeeeeee.......!!! |

What cabin were you traveling in? This is something I would expect even without status in EK F. If they are able to differentiate the onboard product for Plats in J and Y then that is very good indeed.
Last night the purser on FRA - DXB said they where given briefings on Platinum starting in February. |

Just like I/O, Platinums are listed on a separate "passenger information sheet" that has the customers full name, likes, final destination, preferred seat location, etc...
Last night the purser on FRA - DXB said they where given briefings on Platinum starting in February. I will be on QF1 from SYD-DXB tomorrow, crediting to Skywards. Interested in seeing how I will be treated, being a QFF Plat also. So excited to be able to use the QF F Lounge on EK flights! It's my favourite lounge in the world. |

I thought it was just HVC+ beside their name... I suppose that will allow for more personalisation.

Received the package today via Fedex. A heavy box but not much material in it - membership card, 2 baggage tags, a welcome letter, egate brochure and another sheet giving instructions for the Platinum welcome gift. Go to http://www.emirateshighstreet.com/platinum to check out what is available, but only from Apr 2.
And for the more curious folks, my last name starts with D. :) |

Tier points inaccuracy
Slightly annoyed that my tier miles showed 179,000 via the old Skywards website last week so I went to HKG and back on CX instead of EK. When I checked the new Skywards website this morning it shows only 140,000....! Apparently on the old website your total included future tier points which seems completely illogical. (Flying the SFO tomorrow so not the end of the world but still........)
Separately, I've done 150,000+ tier points in each of the six years I've lived in Dubai so it's typical that EK would introduce Platinum three months before I move to Singapore! |
