Emirates Skywards launches global Season of Rewards with bonus miles, faster tier upgrades and partner offers

Emirates Skywards has unveiled its latest global campaign, Season of Rewards, giving members worldwide more opportunities to earn and redeem rewards across flights, hotels, car rentals, holidays and lifestyle experiences. Running from 21 May to 31 August 2026, the campaign introduces bonus Skywards Miles, enhanced Tier Miles earning, expanded Cash Plus Miles savings and special partner offers designed to boost value across every stage of travel.

The programme’s Cash Plus Miles feature has been enhanced for bookings with Emirates and flydubai, allowing members to enjoy greater savings when paying for flights and add ons such as excess baggage, lounge access and seat selection. During the campaign period, 2,000 Skywards Miles can unlock USD 30 in savings instead of USD 15, across all travel classes, fare types and destinations on both airlines.

Members will also benefit from accelerated status progression through a 20 percent bonus on Tier Miles earned from Emirates and flydubai flights. With reduced Tier Miles requirements during the promotion period, the airline loyalty programme says it will be easier for members to renew or upgrade their membership tiers, which include Blue, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

Across its global partner network, Season of Rewards also offers 50 percent bonus Skywards Miles on a wide range of spending categories. This includes hotel stays with partners such as Marriott Bonvoy, IHG Hotels & Resorts and Jumeirah, as well as car rentals with providers including Hertz, Avis and Budget, Europcar, Sixt and CarTrawler. Additional bonuses extend to partner airlines such as United Airlines, Air Canada, Japan Airlines and others, along with Emirates Holidays packages. Members can earn up to 10,000 bonus Miles per partner, with registration required and bonus Miles credited within 60 days after the campaign ends.

The campaign also includes discounted reward flight redemptions on easyJet and Jet2, with fares starting from 4,500 Miles instead of 9,000 Miles for travel between 21 May and 31 August 2026. The offer applies across all routes, cabins and fare types.

Recently recognised as the Best Global Airline Loyalty Program, Emirates Skywards continues to grow its global membership base of more than 38 million travellers, offering Miles earning and redemption opportunities across flights, hotel stays, retail, lifestyle and exclusive experiences worldwide.
