There are 45 FAQs for Business Rewards.
Business Rewards is the travel benefits programme open to small and medium-sized organisations (SMEs) around the world. In order to enrol in Business Rewards, you must be a member of Emirates Skywards, Emirates frequent flyer programme – if you are not a member, join now for free. Up to 80 travellers from an organisation can be registered under a Business Rewards account.
Individual Members of your organisation continue to earn Skywards Miles and tier Miles for their eligible business flights even as your organisation earns Business Rewards Miles for those same flights.
It is possible, however, it means that the Business Rewards Miles earned would be credited to the individual accounts. It is not possible to transfer Miles between the accounts or merge the accounts at a later date.

The role of Business Rewards Administrators is assigned to the person who creates a Business Rewards account and who is an employee of the organisation. The role may be reassigned at any time to another individual enrolled in the account. Additional Administrators can be added as well, to a maximum of 80. Business Rewards Administrators manage Membership, book, approve, pay and manage Member’s Business Rewards travel. In addition they can make Award bookings using Business Rewards miles.
Employees that manage travel should be assigned this role, however we recommend a senior manager/owner is also assigned as an Administrator.
Administrators can check their organisation’s Business Rewards Mileage balance online at emirates.com once logged in.
Your organisation will need to deactivate any Administrators or Members when they leave the company. Please note – only Administrators can deactivate Members, so it is important to have multiple Administrators on the account.
Members can make Business Rewards bookings online for themselves, and either pay with a personal payment method, or send a request to the Administrator for payment with a company credit card.
Members can also make Business Rewards bookings through an Emirates Contact Centre, Ticket Office or Travel Agent for themselves, and pay with a personal payment method.

Business Rewards Miles are calculated at the end of each month for travel completed in that month. Miles are calculated from where your journey begins and ends.

There is a service fee of USD 50 for re-crediting Miles on a Business Rewards Award Flex ticket and USD 75 for re-crediting Miles on a Business Rewards Award Saver ticket to your account. If a combination of a combination of a Flex and Saver Award ticket is refunded, then the USD 75 will apply.

Business Rewards Miles are valid for three years from the flight date. They will expire on the next anniversary of the organisation’s joining date.
For example, if the joining date of your organisation was in August 2008, and you earned Business Rewards Miles in June 2009, your Miles will expire on 31st August 2012. Or, if you earned Miles in October 2008 and the joining date of your organisation is in May 2008, your Miles will expire on 31st May 2012.

No, only an employee of company can register their organisation to the Business Rewards programme.
The administrators should be employed by the registered company. This is to ensure the correct use of Business Rewards Miles for redemptions. If a Business Rewards account appoints a travel agent as its administrator, an employee of the registered company should also remain assigned as an administrator. Emirates is not liable for any misuse of company Miles resulting from appointing a travel agent as a Business Rewards administrator.
If making a Business Rewards booking online, payment must be made online, or through the payment option available in the respective country.
Business Rewards bookings made through a Travel Agent must be completed, paid for and issued through the nominated Travel Agent.
Again, if making a Business Rewards booking through an Emirates Contact Centre or Ticket Office, the booking must be completed through the same facility. Emirates Contact Centres and Ticket Offices cannot make bookings by Business Rewards Administrators on behalf of Members at this time.
This payment option will be available from 1st July 2012 onwards – until then, only Business Rewards members can book and pay for their own travel through Emirates Contact Centres or Ticket Offices.
Business Rewards Administrators can continue to use third-party payment options through emirates.com, where applicable.
Business Rewards bookings made online, or through an Emirates Contact Centre or Ticket Office, can be changed online through ‘Manage a Booking’ or through an Emirates Contact Centre or Ticket Office.
Any changes to a Business Rewards booking made through a Travel Agent must be made by the originating Travel Agent.
Once the travel has been completed please have your Business Rewards Administrator complete the Missing Miles Claim form and this will validate and acknowledge the booking for Business Rewards Miles.
Business Rewards can only be used when purchasing market airfares, and excludes any Corporate, Group, Student, Marine, Seamen or Tour airfares.
Travel agents can add a Business Rewards number to a booking provided this is prior to travel – just ask the agent to amend the booking to include the Business Rewards number. If travel has already started, a Business Rewards administrator can claim the Miles for the booking. After all travel has been completed, log in to emirates.com and go to the Claim Missing Miles form, available for all Business Rewards Administrators.
