Our Verdict
Bonus is based on your status as of 11/1. Takes 96 hours after you make a transaction for your status to be updated. Same rates as we saw for Virgin earlier in the year. This is a great transfer bonus, even at the 75% level. Even though it’s great I’d only recommend if you have a specific redemption in mind as you never know when a devaluation will hit.
Also they have likely illegal surcharges on some routes only on award tickets, not cash ones. Some countries ban/restrict them, EK doesn’t charge from those countries on cash fares but does on award tickets. Evidence: https://imgur.com/gallery/bjGFnbW
Not sure if there are any sweet spots that I’m not aware of, but I checked a few flights and they still had underwhelming value after accounting for the high taxes/fees
Yeah, and the fact that they are stopping A388 flights to the USA, this is a hard pass. The 100% Bilt transfer bonus to AF/KLM in May got me TWO transat flights in J, one as far away as IST-JFK. Emirates is in Delta’s corner of the room when it comes to uncompetitive award pricing .
