Exactly, united won't get me to dxb, unless this E+ upgrade works with lufthansa as well.

Fly United metal to KWI and for the 1 1/2 hour flight to DXB use Emirates and earn RDM's (no EQM's) for that flight. The schedule is very tight, so you may need to use another (Sri Lankan, instead of EK) airlines or have a longer layover.
