E-Gate card and Gold status
On my current trip to DXB next week (SYD-BKK-DXB) I'll easily pass the 50K Gold Tier Miles mark for this year. Is it possible to get the Gold E-Gate card issued while in the airport, before entering Dubai? Or, do you have to request the Gold E-Gate card after the tier miles have posted and wait for my next trip through DXB to activate it?

Thanks.. I figured as much. I'll relax, enjoy the new Gold status as it comes, have a lovely layover at the Hatta Fort Hotel and take my time going through immigration as always. I'm sure the Gold card will show up in good time.
