Bubus78, I am having the same scenario you seemed to have on June 13. I go to the Buy Miles page (or click "Learn more" from the e-mail), click on the link to "Multiply your miles on upcoming flights," which takes me to my upcoming booking. I click on the Manage button, and all of the options come up (purchase an upgrade, pre-purchase lounge access, travel insurance, etc.). In the top right, there is a panel for "Upgrade available" with buttons to click < or >, cycling through other ancillary options, including extra baggage and emergency contact, but no option to purchase additional miles.

Also clicking on the "Passenger preferences" tab, and drilling down on "Show miles breakdown" doesn't reveal this option. Hmm. The only slightly odd thing about this itinerary is that it contains one segment on a partner (PG), still EK-coded, but surely that wouldn't nullify the offer?

The pop-up that Bubus78 eventually got to mentions an outside site. When I click on "Buy miles" (as opposed to the mileage multiplier) it opens a new window that goes to an external site called Storefront, but the page never loads.

P.S.:

I have the Emirates NBD card. A lot of the promotions seem to be bogus.

Now the multiply option works for me, on a return segment after I have flown the outbound. $0.02 per mile.

And there seems to be no further information about a further bonus using an Emirates NBD card. The payment options drop-down has Visa, Mastercard, etc. but no separate selection for an affinity card. Maybe it would be automatic if I paid with that card, but of course I don't want to chance it. Disappointing.

Yes Nicoma , miles are credited immediately. I did what you are suggesting and used the extra miles for an upgrade on the same flight that I got the bonus miles for. Pity this isn't made clear at time of purchase.

So it would make sense to buy a First class ticket, tripling the miles doing this, and then asking for the refund of the ticket... Just saying...

I got this also. However, I can't see any to actually get into it. When I clicked on the link, I could see my future booking. When I click on that, what am I supposed to see?

This subject is confusing some folks. I have been through the process earlier this month. I was able to purchase the miles on offer at the time of booking my flight. You "purchase' the miles at a discount to the usual buy/transfer miles methods. The miles are credited instantaneously. Cancelling the flight thereafter is up to you (the cost of doing so depends on fare basis), but you will retain the miles (as happened to me as I had to return home for a family emergency before using the flight in question).

I could not however purchase miles on a flight that I had booked prior to this offer being released. I tried but could not find a way to do it.

I got the email again yesterday too. The links in it take you to manage a booking but nowhere to actually do the deed on an existing booking as far as I can see, and it does say "once you complete your booking" so I've done that a while ago.

DYKWIA

Same here...

I got this promo email a few days ago and wanted to use it today. I couldn't access the option when i went to my booking. Called customer service and turns out that there is a system glitch and was advised they may not be able to resolve the issue before the promo end date, which is Sep 5. I was only told to try again on Sep 5.
Anyone else facing this problem currently?

This doesn‘t work with me. While I get the multiplier option on the website, when I click on it, it takes me to manage my bookings, where under my flights there is no option to multiply.

Wtravel

Just found the answer to my question: according to EK the multiplier only works if purchased during the initial booking process, once that is done it is no longer possible to add it to a booking, even if none of the segments are used yet
