I think it's safe to say that statistically there's more likelihood of you not getting an email than there is.
As regards timing ....no precise pattern AFAIK. But others may be able to provide more info.

But for DXB-SFO expect that figure to be multiplied by 4-5, that's if anything materialises. For 350 on a 6 hour flight that sounds like a bargain.

Looking at the EK website, it is quoted as a 6h50min flight. That's about 7 hours. That is a fantastic deal to pass up! Same flight time as DXB-LHR.

FRA-DXB was always offered for EUR538 and DXB-FRA for AED2569.
Not worth taking it for those 6hr-ish sectors in my opinion.

I got my e-mail for cash upgrade, which excludes lounge access and chauffeur service.. I have enough miles in my account to get upgraded so the e-mail is useless to me.

It is not useless if you want to be ensured on being able to travel in business class and depending on the value of the miles which would be used ( if available )

I got COK-DXB (4.5 hours) for 350. I hesitated a bit longer before accepting this one, but in the end I did because it was worth it to be accommodated in business class for the entire (long) journey from Cochin to San Francisco.
