Has anyone tried to use upgrade awards using Skywards+? When I try to upgrade using points to upgrade to Business from a cash economy booking, I am shown the full points required and not with the 20% discount that the Advanced tier of Skywards+ promises. Does anyone know how this works? is the 20% discount shown upfront or credited back after the upgrade is complete?
the discounted price would show.

I see something like this "KHEESUS4" Appears that it's Flex then? However, while applying for a miles upgrade, it still showed me the full points and not with the 20% Skywards+ discount.

Does the 20% tier mile bonus apply only to new bookings after joining skywards+, or will it apply to unflown segments of previously booked reservations?
For example, I have a HYD-JFK-HYD booking, where I already flew the outbound HYD-JFK. If I sign up for Skywards+ today, will I receive the 20% bonus tier miles for the return JFK-HYD segments next week?

I'm pretty sure you only need 80% (200k in your case). When I upgraded now, it didn't show the pre-discount price at all, it just showed the upgrade as costing 48k points (usually it costs 60k). Two things to note:
1. It took me 24 hours before the discount showed, so plan on buying your subscription at least one day before you need to upgrade..

I am having a hard time finding this. Any tips as to where I should be looking? I purchased Skywards+ 26 hours ago and have yet to be able to see any discounted redemption fares

Have you tried clicking on the subscription link under your account? Some of us still do not get access and have to contact Emirates to apply. I for one have this problem and Emirates has yet to provide a solution. When I click on the tab I just get the wheel of death and it does not open the page.

Wheel of death for me as well. Certainly there has to be a fix here? I am going to give Emirates another 15 hours to respond (they said IT support would get back to me in 24-48 hours) and then I'm going to escalate myself with a supervisor. If they can't get it resolved, I'm afraid I may have to request a refund of the Skywards+ membership since the sole reason I purchased it was to use the 20% discount
