Intersting. Not in our experience. The F lounges have been very good.
Most people in DXB get to use the T3 lounges, which are superb. The unlucky few that fly EK from T1 experience the tired old lounge there.
Always used T3 lounges.
This is a puzzle. Are they QF points off EK merketed flights? I did get some points posted quickly on an EK flight but it was a QF marketed ticket.
My most recent experiences. Claims lodged a few months ago

You can earn QF points on QF/EK flights if you use your QFF number.
You can earn EK points on QF/EK flights if you use your EKFF number.
You can earn QF Status Credits on EK flights ONLY if you quote your QFF number AND it is a code share QF flight number.
Essentially for QF SC and max QF points one needs to book through QF web or travel agent with code share on EK metal. You can only do this for flights win the alliance agreement, so to Europe / NZ. You can't earn QF SC on flights to USA/CANADA. (Not sure about points, maybe.) In fact you can't even buy USA/Canada flights on EK through QF via web or phone.
