How many miles ? How to use them ?

Just turn silver with Emirates for my travel last two months anyway lets have some fun
to make it easy and simple lets do it this way ..
1-Skywards miles
2-Tier miles
3-Credit cards
Note:
Credit card means if you have any credit card with points you can convert them to miles any time ..
Type and issuer for the cards
4-How you well use your miles

If you like you can add a pic at the end

Use miles for j to f in the main although seeing as I keep paying for f I may use them for a round trip redemption.

Call Amex middle east (Dubai office) and apply for the platinium dirham card it works like a debit card but its credit they accept any body without docs you can start with 10k dirham for every 4 dirham you got 2 amex points 1 skywards miles not good but better than nothing if you dont work in UAE now i have 13000 miles waiting in my amex account the good thing they dont expire ..

I spend about 1K a week (mainly reclaimable work expenses), so the points build up quite quickly
