Tier/Regular Miles

I got some 28000 or so miles parked at Emirates Skywards account..need another 23000 for the Gold membership. I was thinking about transfering these to my Jet Airways account as I have a London trip coming up so I could just buy a Y class ticket and upgrade both ways to Premiere after adding up my existing JP miles and the Skywards one.

My question is if I transfer these miles do I have to fly 50,000 again for Skywards Gold or are tier miles different from redeem miles ?

Thanks

Not sure whether you can transfer EK miles to 9w after already banked in the Skywards program!

You could probably ask Skywards to give you a partner award on Jet, but that's about it...

you won't have to fly 50k miles again....redeemed miles don't affect your tier miles....

superflyboy is right....i don't think you can transfer your miles....
