« on: October 30, 2013, 08:23:40 AM »
You can now transfer from Amex to Emirates, looks like NY-MXP is 90k in J, when AS requires double

Are they instantly transferable or does it take a few days? Can you do multiple transfers to the same emirates account on a single day or is it only per day like ANA?

Not so sure.

EK is lately blocking more and more award seats for partners, and the only way to get them is with EK miles.

Funny thing I've noticed recently, QF has more Emirates availability than AS.
This is weird but true.

Amex puts up a warning that name on Amex acct must match the name on Emirates acct and says Emirates may not credit non-matching

names. Does anyone know if this is being enforced or is it like Chase UR to UA?

Also I made some transfers that are pending. Does it always go thru right away?

All help appreciated

Someone told me that their transfer was reversed for mismatched names
