Emirates Skywards
Benefits
When I join My Family, what happens to the Skywards Miles and Tier Miles I earned as an individual Emirates Skywards member?
Your current Skywards Miles balance and Tier Miles balance will remain as before. For any future Skywards Miles you earn on Emirates Flights, you can choose to contribute some or all of your Skywards Miles to your My Family account. The contribution percentage can be changed at any time.
