Four big rewards, 38 million members: Emirates Skywards unveils global Season of Rewards
Global travel partners offer 50% bonus Miles across hotels, airlines and cars
DUBAI – Emirates Skywards has launched its global Season of Rewards, a wide-ranging campaign designed to deliver enhanced value to its more than 38 million members worldwide.
Running from 21 May to 31 August 2026, the initiative introduces multiple earning and redemption opportunities across flights, hotels, car rentals, holiday packages and lifestyle experiences.
The campaign brings together bonus Skywards Miles, accelerated Tier Miles, enhanced Cash+Miles savings and discounted reward flight options, all aimed at making travel more rewarding across the Emirates and flydubai networks as well as its global partner ecosystem.
Season of Rewards
The first key feature of the Season of Rewards is enhanced value through Cash+Miles on Emirates and flydubai, where members can unlock double savings on bookings made during the campaign period. This includes flights as well as extras such as excess baggage, seat selection and lounge access across all travel classes, fare brands and destinations. Under this offer, 2,000 Skywards Miles deliver $30 in savings instead of $15.
Another major reward is bonus Tier Miles, with members earning 20% extra Tier Miles on every Emirates or flydubai flight, helping them progress faster through Blue, Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers. Reduced Tier Miles requirements during the period further support quicker upgrades and renewals.
Travel savings
A significant part of the campaign is the 50% bonus Skywards Miles across partner bookings, which spans multiple categories:
- Hotels: 50% bonus Miles on stays with Marriott Bonvoy, IHG Hotels and Resorts, Jumeirah, Emirates Skywards Hotels and more
- Car rentals: 50% bonus Miles with Hertz, Avis & Budget, Europcar, Sixt and CarTrawler
- Partner airlines: 50% bonus Miles with carriers including United Airlines, Air Canada, Aegean Airlines and Japan Airlines
- Emirates Holidays: 50% bonus Miles on holiday packages
Members can earn up to 10,000 bonus Miles per partner, with travel completed between 21 May and 31 August 2026. Registration is required, and bonus Miles are credited within 60 days after the offer period ends.
Partner rewards
The campaign also introduces discounted redemption opportunities, including 50% off easyJet and Jet2 reward flights, with bookings starting from 4,500 Miles instead of 9,000 Miles. This applies across all routes, cabins, fares and selected extras.
Emirates Skywards, recently recognised as the Best Global Airline Loyalty Programme, continues to expand its global ecosystem. Members can earn and redeem Miles across flights, upgrades, hotels, retail rewards and exclusive lifestyle experiences, reinforcing its position as one of the world’s most comprehensive loyalty programmes.
