Although u can put miles into UA program, Emirates own program is better than UA if u fly Emirates a lot.
You will earn 2500/3500/5000 for Econ/Busi/First class bonus miles after ur first flight with them.
You will earn 20%/50%/100% for Econ/Busi/First class bonus miles if book online.
In addition, they have double miles promotion currently running on LOTS of flights.
so a roundtrip from PEK-SFO via DXB in Economy class will earn u 2500(signup)+23954(flying)+23954(double miles promotion)+4791(online booking bonus)=54479 miles.
ALL class(except award ticket) earning 100% EK miles.
You will become Silver with 25K miles flying or Gold with 50K miles and will earn 25% bonus as silver or 50% as Gold.
In term of spending miles, the best way to use them is to upgrade ur Flight, remeber, ALL PAID CLASS can be upgraded with MILES

it is a very bad promotion. unless u have to stay with Marriott, there is no reason to stay for this promotion.
EXPECTING Hyatt FASTER FREE NIGHT promotion in June
Log in ur marriott account ,you will see this promotion, register before June 30th and stay three times btw June 1 to August 31, 2009, earn one free night valid for cat 1-4 until Dec 31st,2009.

Emirates is having super cheap ticket available from PEK/PVG.
eg PEK/PVG-JFK/SFO/LAX via DXB 4100 Chinese yuan.
PEK/PVG-MUC/CDG 300-450 USD
and many more.
if u are not member of its Frequent flyer program, u can put ur miles to UA, all class earn 100% Redeemable miles, but no Elite qualify miles.
Personally, I think signup for its skywards program is a better option.

Without notifying anyone, NWA increased intra-Asia business class award from 30K-40K and intra-Africa business award from 50K to 100K!!!!!
This is a very bad move!!

Per discussion on flyertalk.com, effective now, you can not have stopover on any award ticket, any stopover will be priced with additional one way miles within the zone except international
awards originating in North America, where one stopover is still permitted
in North America Gateway city
However, member can redeem one way travel for half of round trip miles
