Skywards changes (1 March)
Haven't seen this published anywhere but I understand that as of 1 March:
Silver increases from 25% to 30% bonus miles
Gold increases from 50% to 75% bonus miles
Platinum increases from 75% to 100% bonus miles
applicable to tickets issued or resissued after 23 January 2023. Perhaps this is in response to negative feedback to the brutal Skywards devaluation.
Retaining platinum also now requires one qualifying flight in J/F. Doubt this affects many people as obtaining 150,000 tier miles flying only in Y would be some achievement...

Sound reasonable, Skywards was really bad now.
Well, there is still nothing special for people with no status (the only good option for them is to use mile & cash on family account, which gives symbolic price reduction. But this is not something to make people to fly Emirates more. Only (still!) good service, including Economy, is making for example me, to fly this airline).

Yes, I can see in a booking made in February that I get 75% bonus miles.
An older booking (but also still to be - partially - flown) still shows 50% bonus.
Also have not seen this published anywhere.
