Good morning.
I’m after a bit of advice and help, basically trying to understand how the tier miles work.
I’m currently a Blue member and I’m looking to get to Silver status. Below is a summary of my tier miles status:-
My account currently says I have 9,300 Tier miles, which expire by 31 Dec 2015
I have several upcoming flights all before 31 Dec 2015, which takes me up to 19,300 tier miles, as the following statement on my account ‘You require 5,700 additional Tier Miles by 31 Dec 15 to reach Silver (includes future bookings)’
Here is where I’m unsure how this works, and can’t seem to find clear information to my situation.
1) To get the additional 5700 miles, do I have book and take flights before 31 Dec 2015. Or if I book future flights which will occur after this date, do they get added?
2) If the above answer is that the flights have to be before the 31 Dec 2015, then when I check to modify a booking and upgrade from Economy to Business (might treat myself flying home for Christmas), Do I get additional Tier miles, as I cannot find on the emirates website when I go through the process
Apologies if the above is unclear, I have tried to be succinct as possible, but any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to FT.
On your first question, you would need to have the tier miles credited for flights before 31 Dec 15. The wording of that last part - "includes future bookings" is confusing but essentially it means "we know you will get tier miles for the flights you've already booked (for travel before 31 Dec) but you need 5700 more tier miles than that" for Silver.
On your second question, I'm not sure. I think if you upgrade with cash you get the benefits (including tier miles) of the higher class. If it's an operational upgrade, you don't. If you upgrade with points - I'm not sure.

Thanks Radio Girl
Thanks m3red, thought the increase wouldn't be much.
Just booked my return back to the sandpit after Christmas. I now only need 2700 tier miles........ Still cant see what the increase would be if I upgrade in 'manage my booking' to business on my flight home.
May need to take a weekend away trip some where.

Y Flex 2100
Y Flex + 3000
C Saver 3750
C Flex 5250
C Flex+ 5700
Possible with an upgrade however I assume it will cost you a lot of $$$, depends what you original ticket is
It's a bit confusing you saying that Tier Miles will expire, as due to the rolling qualification period I don't see a Tier Miles expiry date on my account. They would fall off the rolling timescale total if you has earned 9,300 miles in December 2014. Is that the situation and I'm overthinking things?
