Of course the devil's in the detail:

An Emirates Citi Platinum cardholder must be a member of Skywards Frequent Flyer Programme to earn Skywards Miles. Membership is free and subject to Skywards terms and conditions. The 3 miles per dollar spend special promotion applies to Retail Purchases up to the value of 10,000 Miles. Limited offer for new applicants. Cash Advances, Balance Transfers and Special Promotions are excluded from this offer. Cardholders must apply and spend before the 31st July 2010 to be eligible for this offer. After the 10,000 Miles, Skyward Miles are earned at a rate of 1.5 miles for every dollar spent on Retail Purchases. Up to 150,000 Miles can be earned per annum on the card (from the date of account approval).

So it's nice for the first 10,000 miles earnt I guess, but they make sure not to trumpet that aspect too loudly.
