My Family

Reach rewards together, faster

Get ready for an even better My Family experience

A new My Family experience is coming

We're evolving My Family to offer more rewarding ways for families to earn, share and enjoy Miles together.

While we prepare for the enhanced experience, the current My Family will be paused in January 2027. Rest assured, you can continue to enjoy all the current benefits of My Family until then.​

What this means for you from January 2027

  • Creating or closing My Family accounts, adding or removing family members, Skywards Miles pooling and spending from My Family accounts will be temporarily unavailable.​
  • Any Skywards Miles remaining in My Family accounts will be transferred to the Family Head's individual Emirates Skywards account. Once transferred, the Miles will remain available for use as per the applicable Emirates Skywards programme rules. Skywards Miles transferred will be reflected in the respective Family Head's account within 7 to 14 days. The Family Head can continue to spend these Miles on travel and lifestyle rewards for all family members.​
  • Any Skywards Miles earned during this period will remain in your individual Emirates Skywards account.

If you’d like to make changes to your My Family account, spend remaining Skywards Miles or leave the My Family programme, you can do so at any time before January 2027. Check out our Emirates Skywards Programmes update page for more information.

How do I contribute Miles?

Every time you fly with Emirates, flydubai and our airline partners, spend with our bank, hotel, car rental, retail and lifestyle partners, you can automatically pool the Miles you earn into a My Family account. 


You can choose to contribute all of the Skywards Miles you’ll earn to your My Family account or set your contribution percentage to 0%. Any Miles you don’t contribute will stay in your own account.
