There are two ways to retain your tier:
Earn enough Tier Miles by flying with Emirates, flydubai or on a codeshare flight marketed by Emirates but operated by another airline.
Take the required number of qualifying flights* with Emirates and flydubai. Take the required number of qualifying flights with Emirates and flydubai. A ‘qualifying flight’ is a flight on Emirates, flydubai or a codeshare flight marketed by Emirates but operated by another airline, between the point of origin and point of destination of an outward or return journey.
Once you have reached a new tier you have a fixed 12-month period in which to earn the Tier Miles you need to keep your status. During this time, you would need to save 25,000 Tier Miles or take 25 qualifying flights to remain in Silver, 50,000 Tier Miles or 50 qualifying flights to remain in Gold and 150,000 Tier Miles and at least one qualifying flight* in First Class or Business Class to remain in Platinum.
