600 tiers miles short of Gold
Hi,
Just a quick question. At the end of this month, I will be short of 600 tier miles to be gold. Will emirates still give me gold or am I going to miss it?

day by day and as he said I wouldn't bank on it but from knowledge if you are 1001 miles under it will not count - its 1K inclusive.It used to be written as per T&C's on the original skywards website when it still existed but as it has ceased to exist this text no longer exists either.

Thank you very much for your replies! I had this question in mind because I am 7000 miles short, and thought about buying a 100% saver ticket (=6000miles). But anyway, thanks for your answers!

I've got the answer now. I was 600 tier miles short to reach gold in April. They refused to give me gold. Here is the reply from Skywards:

Going to be 200 tier points short on our return from Europe. I'd be interested to hear from anyone if in fact they did get gold on being a few hundred short
