Where a Member fails to notify Emirates of any discrepancies in their statement within such time period, the information will be deemed to be correct and accepted as such by a Member.

During such audit, a Member’s Account (and any associated My Family account) will not be available for use and the Member will be unable to avail any Rewards or otherwise redeem Miles. If Emirates conducts such an audit on an Account, Emirates (i) will notify the relevant Member that such audit is taking place, and (ii) may request that the Member provides additional information as Emirates may deem necessary (in its discretion) in order to complete the audit, (an “Audit Notification”), and the Member must comply with any such Audit Notification from Emirates within any timeframe(s) specified therein. If (i) a Member fails to respond to an Audit Notification to Emirates’ satisfaction, (ii) fails to respond to an Audit Notification within 90 calendar days of such Audit Notification, (iii) or Emirates identifies any issues of concern (including, without limitation, any fraudulent activity or Programme Misuse) following the Account audit, Emirates may immediately terminate such Member’s Account.

  11. Additional Platinum Benefits

    1. Skywards Miles held in the Accounts of Platinum Members do not expire for as long as the relevant Member retains their Platinum status. Accordingly, an Adjusted Expiry (as defined in Clause 9 below) date will be displayed to Platinum Members in cases where the Member has Skywards Miles that, as per Standard Expiry (as defined in Clause 9 below), were originally due to expire within their current Membership Tier Period. The Adjusted Expiry will always be a date that is two (2) months after the Member’s upcoming Membership Tier Review Date. By way of illustration only: if a Platinum Member (with next Membership Tier Review Date of 31 August 2019) has Skywards Miles due to expire on 31 January 2019 as per Standard Expiry, this Member will see an Adjusted Expiry date of 31 October 2019 (calculated as two (2) months after their upcoming Membership Tier Review Date).
    2. As soon as a Member meets the Membership Tier Requirements for Platinum and is then upgraded to the Platinum, the Adjusted Expiry date will be updated and apply against any Skywards Miles that, as per Standard Expiry, were due to expire within their current Membership Tier Period. Any Skywards Miles that expired prior to the Member’s upgrade to Platinum will not be reinstated and shall remain as expired (including, without limitation, in cases of retroactive claims for missing Skywards Miles which may have led to a Member being upgraded to Platinum prior to the Standard Expiry date).
    3. Each time a Member meets the Membership Tier Requirements for Platinum and retains their Platinum status, any unused Skywards Miles that had an Adjusted Expiry date will be further extended to a date that is two (2) months after the Member’s next Membership Tier Review Date.
    4. If a Platinum Member fails to meet the Membership Tier Requirements for retention of their Platinum status and is therefore downgraded to a lower Membership Tier, then any unredeemed Skywards Miles with an Adjusted Expiry will then expire as per the Adjusted Expiry date stated on a Member’s Account.
    5. Adjusted Expiry will apply to the portion of Skywards Miles pooled into the My Family account by a Platinum Member only, irrespective of whether as a Family Head or as a Family Member, however will not apply to any other portion of the Skywards Miles held in the My Family pool to which Standard Expiry applies.
    6. Adjusted Expiry will apply to Skywards Miles where additional validity was previously purchased through the Extend Miles or Reinstate Miles (both as defined in Clause 10) products.
    7. For the avoidance of doubt, each Member’s Skywards Miles will expire on the stated date of expiry as listed on the relevant Account.
    8. Membership Tier benefits and privileges applicable to each Membership Tier shall only be valid and provided to a Member for the period during which such Member holds valid status at the applicable Membership Tier.
    9. Emirates may, at any time and without notice (save that Emirates shall communicate such change via these Programme Rules, the Website or the Emirates App at the time of such change), adapt, change or remove any benefits and privileges that are applicable to any Membership Tier.

  12. Exclusive Platinum Privileges
     
    Select Platinum members can activate Exclusive Platinum Privileges, including Tier Miles Rollover, Discounted upgrades and Complimentary upgrades. Learn more about the terms and conditions here.

7. Earning Miles

  1. Subject to the terms of these Programme Rules, Members with active Accounts can earn and accrue Skywards Miles as follows:
    • availing Qualifying Flights; and
    • availing or purchasing qualifying Emirates or Partner services, goods or products.
  2. Subject to the terms of these Programme Rules, Members can earn and accrue Tier Miles as follows:
    • availing Qualifying Flights; and
    • availing or purchasing qualifying Emirates or Partner services, goods or products.
  3. Members may begin to earn and accrue Miles in accordance with these Programme Rules starting on and from their Account registration date. Qualifying Flights availed by Members no more than two months prior to Account registration shall be eligible for Miles, subject to the Member contacting Emirates and claiming such Miles within 6 months of the Account registration date. No other transaction (including the availing of applicable Partner services, goods or products) of a Member that were undertaken prior to such Member’s Account registration shall be eligible for earning or accruing Miles. All Miles earned by Members for Qualifying Flights can be viewed by Members via the Member Statement on the Website and the Emirates App.
  4. To earn Miles, Members must produce a digital membership card, link their accounts or quote their membership number (as may be required from time to time by Emirates or the applicable vendor) at the time of (i) reservation or check‑in for Qualifying Flights, and (ii) paying for (or subscribing to, as the case may be) other qualifying Emirates or Partner goods or services. If a Member opts to list their Emirates Skywards membership number against a flight listing, the Emirates Skywards membership number cannot then be removed and replaced with any other membership number (whether Emirates Skywards or that of a Partner’s frequent flyer loyalty programme) after such Member has checked‑in for the first flight of their itinerary.
  5. The number of Miles earned will depend on the origin, destination, class of travel and fare purchased in respect of each Qualifying Flight as declared upon purchase and at date of ticket issuance, except that in event of ticket reissuance it shall be as declared on the date of such subsequent ticket reissue. Use our Miles Calculator(Opens page in the same tab) to check the estimated earning values for a particular Qualifying Flight.
  6. The number of Miles earned on a Cash+Miles ticket in respect of each Qualifying Flight will be pro-rated against the cash amount paid by the Member for a commercial fare ticket for such Qualifying Flight, excluding carrier imposed charges, taxes and fees against which no Miles shall be earned. By way of illustration only: if the base fare of a quoted ticket is USD 2,000, and a Member then pays 60% of the fare in Cash and 40% of the fare with Skywards Miles using the Cash+Miles option, such Member will only earn 60% of the earnable Miles related to such flight.
  7. Cash+Miles tickets do not qualify to earn loyalty points in other airlines’ frequent flyer loyalty programmes.
  8. If a Member purchases a mixed fare and/or mixed cabin ticket on Qualifying Flights, Miles will be calculated and credited to the Member’s Account separately for each fare component. The endorsement text or additional information area of the ticket is a partial indicator only. Full details of Miles earned on mixed fare tickets can be viewed at any time under (i) the My Itinerary section of the Website, (ii) the Emirates Skywards section of the Emirates App, or (iii) under the Manage a Booking section of the Website or flydubai.com (as applicable).
  9. If a Member voids or refunds any part of a ticket, Miles will be credited only for the journey flown on Qualifying Flights on that ticket.
  10. For partially flown tickets on Emirates Qualifying Flights (including without limitation due to re-issuance or refund of the ticket), Miles earned will depend on the flown sector, class of travel and fare purchased on the ticket. If the journey has been partially flown by a Member, Miles will be credited only for the parts of that journey flown on that ticket. If a Member wishes to partially upgrade a ticket to a higher fare brand or higher class of travel with cash, additional Miles will be credited only for that specific part of the journey and will not apply to any previously completed flights within such journey.
  11. A Member who is upgraded to a different class of travel without a reissuance of their ticket (i.e. without receiving a new ticket number) will only receive Miles for the fare he or she has purchased with cash, as reflected on the ticket.
  12. Members will earn Miles as per the original ticketed class of travel. No additional Miles will be awarded to the Member in respect of Instant Upgrades availed in respect of any flight.
  13. The following types of flight tickets do not qualify to earn Miles:
    • staff travel (including employee) tickets;
    • industry and agent discounted tickets (e.g ID/AD tickets);
    • Reward tickets;
    • contra tickets;
    • prize and promotional tickets;
    • consultant and PR tickets;
    • specially discounted diplomat and government tickets;
    • free travel and non‑scheduled or charter flight tickets;
    • non‑public specially discounted travel tickets;
    • denied boarding options tickets; and
    • reward tickets issued by other frequent flyer or loyalty programmes in which Emirates Skywards is a participant.
  14. Members may claim Miles retroactively for Qualifying Flights that are Emirates Flights by contacting an Emirates Contact Centre (or via the Website) within six months of the date that such Emirates Flight was flown. To make such a retroactive claim, Members must provide Emirates with all requested information, including but not limited to; ticket number, flight details on the boarding passes, transaction documents, receipts and any other documents requested by Emirates. To make a retroactive claim for missing Miles for a flydubai Qualifying Flight, Members must make such claim to flydubai (on the flydubai Website or via the flydubai Contact Centre) within six months of the date the flydubai Flight was flown and must provide flydubai with all requested information, including but not limited to; ticket number, flight details on the boarding passes, transaction documents, receipts and any other documents requested by flydubai.
  15. Miles can only be earned for one loyalty programme for each flight or transaction unless otherwise stated by Emirates or an applicable Partner. Members who are also participants of other Partner loyalty programmes must select their preferred loyalty programme at the beginning of their journey. This applies to earning of Skywards Miles as well as other flight related benefits (including but not limited to airport lounge access, baggage allowance etc.) unless otherwise stated by Emirates or flydubai (where applicable). A Member may change the loyalty number at time of check‑in before the first flight commences but not at any other point thereafter. Miles can only be earned against one seat and one extra seat purchased per Qualifying Flight.
  16. Miles may take eight weeks or more to be credited to a Member’s Account from the date of any earning activity. Miles earned by a Member may only be used or redeemed by that Member (in accordance with these Programme Rules) once they have been credited to such Member’s Account.
  17. Skywards Miles (and where applicable, Tier Miles) can be earned on Qualifying Flights and eligible airline Partner flights where applicable, but not any other flights. In the case of airline Partner flights, it is the responsibility of each Member to verify that Skywards Miles are available to be earned via such flight, which shall be in accordance with any applicable terms and conditions of the Partner and at all times subject to these Programme Rules.
  18. Skywards Miles (and where applicable, Tier Miles) shall only be awarded for goods and services actually supplied to a Member following a purchase. No Skywards Miles (and where applicable, Tier Miles) will be earned in connection with goods or services which have been ordered but cancelled prior to utilisation by a Member, or in circumstances in which a Member fails to meet any obligation on his or her part in connection with the order of such goods or services.
  19. If a Member’s Qualifying Flight is cancelled, Emirates or flydubai may endorse a Member’s ticket to another carrier for carriage and a Member will continue to accrue Miles in accordance with the ticket they purchased as if the Qualifying Flight had proceeded per the original booking.
  20. If any Member acquires any Invalid Miles, Emirates may (as it so determines in its sole discretion):
    1. cancel and void any such Invalid Miles;
    2. where such Invalid Miles (or any portion of them) have been redeemed in exchange for any Reward or other benefit, cancel and void any such Reward or other benefit, save that where such Reward or other benefit has already been provided, Emirates may:
      1. deduct additional Skywards Miles from the Member’s Account calculated against the typical redemption cost of such Reward or other benefit;
      2. recover payment from such Member in respect of such Reward in the amount that would have otherwise been due if Invalid Miles had not been utilised to redeem such Reward, and/or
    3. downgrade such Member’s Membership Tier, 
    and in each of the above cases, no refund or other compensation shall be due to the Member from Emirates whatsoever, including without limitation any travel, accommodation or visa costs.
  21. Without prejudice to any other right of Emirates under these Programme Rules or in law, if a Member (i) commits any Programme Misuse, or (ii) is refused carriage on any flight, then Emirates may (as it so determines in its sole discretion):
    1. suspend and/or audit the Member’s Account, during which period of suspension or audit the Member shall be unable to earn and/or redeem Skywards Miles or access any of the benefits or Rewards associated with their Account; and/or
    2. terminate the Member’s Account and any pending Rewards, in which case all Miles held in the Member’s Account shall be forfeited, 
    and in each of the above cases, no refund (including, without limitation, in respect of tax) or other compensation shall be due to the Member from Emirates whatsoever, including without limitation any travel, accommodation or visa costs.

By way of illustration only, if the last day of the Validity Period applicable to a Member’s Skywards Miles is 15 January 2023, and such Member’s birthday falls on 14 January, then the date of Standard Expiry for the applicable Skywards Miles for that Member shall be 31 January 2024. Notwithstanding the above and subject to clause 6.10.1, any Skywards Miles belonging to a Member whose Membership Tier status on the date of such Skywards Miles’ Standard Expiry is Platinum will not expire on such date of Standard Expiry and shall instead expire on the date that is 2 months after such Platinum Member’s upcoming Membership Tier Review Date (“Adjusted Expiry”). Unused Miles that have expired and been deducted from a Member’s Account will not be re credited and shall be deemed to have been forfeited by the relevant Member.
  3. Members are responsible for ensuring that they are aware of the number of Skywards Miles available in their Member Account and their date of expiry. This can be monitored at any time on the Website or the Emirates App.
  4. Where Skywards Miles have been redeemed for a Reward that is later cancelled and such Skywards Miles have since expired in accordance with the Programme Rules, such Skywards Miles will not be eligible for a refund or reinstatement, save that where on the date of cancelling such reward (i) the relevant Member’s Membership Tier status is Platinum, or (ii) the relevant Member is a Skysurfer, the applicable Skywards Miles redeemed against such Reward will be credited back to the Member’s Account with an Adjusted Expiry date (or in the case of a Member who is a Skysurfer, no expiry date and in which case Clause 3.5 shall apply).

10. Buy, Gift, Transfer, Extend, Reinstate or Multiply Skywards Miles

For the avoidance of doubt, any non-sanctioned and/or unauthorised accumulation of Miles by a Member, via any process whatsoever (including, without limitation, via the misuse and/or unintended exploitation of a Partner loyalty programme or points transfer scheme), shall constitute a breach of these Programme Rules and Emirates’ rights to void such accumulation and terminate Members’ Accounts shall apply.

  6.

From time to time, Eligible Skywards Members will be given the option to multiply (at multiplier options set and determined by Emirates from time-to-time) a portion of their Skywards Miles at the cost and rate offered by Emirates from time-to-time, to be purchased via the Points Platform (“Multiply Miles”). The option to Multiply Miles will only be available for:
    • a certain portion of the Skywards Miles that Eligible Skywards Members have already earned in the past from Qualifying Flights or from Partners; and/or
    • the Skywards Miles that Eligible Skywards Members are due to earn on an upcoming Emirates Qualifying Flight that are booked and confirmed for a future date, as long as the entire itinerary is yet to be flown.
    • Multiply Miles can be purchased by an Eligible Skywards Member up to a maximum limit of 50,000 Skywards Miles in a single calendar year (starting on 1 January and ending on 31 December). The number of Skywards Miles that can be purchased through the Multiply Miles product will be stated on the Points Platform and Eligible Skywards Members will be able to Multiply Miles only within these stated options. Only one Multiply Miles product may be purchased per booking. Skywards Miles purchased under the Multiply Miles product will be credited to an Eligible Skywards Member’s Account in accordance with Clause 10.16 below, which, in respect of Skywards Miles due to be earned on upcoming Emirates Qualifying Flights, shall be immediate irrespective of whether or not the Skywards Miles forming the basis of the multiplier are still to be awarded to the Member’s Account.

Multiply Miles cannot be pooled into the My Family account. Tier Miles cannot be multiplied.

In cases where payment in the Member’s local currency is not supported, the transactions will by default be processed in USD. Local taxes may be levied and be payable by each Member as per the policies of Emirates.
  17. Skywards Miles purchased via Buy Miles or Gift Miles will be credited to the applicable Account within 48 hours after full and successful payment is settled via the Points Platform.

  18. Skywards Miles can be bought, gifted, transferred, extended, reinstated and multiplied within the prescribed limits and must be purchased at least 48 hours prior to making a booking/redemption. Any transaction made to Buy Miles (whether through Buy Miles Standalone or through Buy Miles In‑line), Gift Miles, Transfer Miles, Extend Miles, Reinstate Miles and Multiply Miles with the intent of redeeming such Skywards Miles for Rewards doesn’t guarantee the availability of such Rewards. Refunds in respect of Skywards Miles purchased under the Buy Miles, Gift Miles, Transfer Miles, Reinstate Miles or Multiply Miles product are not permitted, unless required by law. The cash price at which Skywards Miles are purchased has no correlation with the value a Skywards Member may realise when redeeming such purchased Skywards Miles for a Reward when compared to the price at which that same good or service may be available for purchase by either Cash+Miles or cash only.
  19.

  4. If a Partner provides Members with the opportunity to transfer or convert points earned with a Partner to Skywards Miles (“Points Exchange Offer”), any such transfer or conversion shall only be valid if (i) the relevant Member is both an Emirates Skywards Member and a member in the Partner’s applicable program, and (ii) the points held by a Member in the Partner’s applicable program are transferred: (a) by the Member from an account held with that Partner in the Member’s own name, and (b) into the same Member’s own Emirates Skywards Account (“Linked Accounts”). Linked Accounts must have an identical first name, surname and date of birth. For the avoidance of doubt, Skywards Skysurfers, My Family and Business Rewards accounts are not eligible for financial partner conversions.
  5. With respect to any Points Exchange Offer, Emirates reserves the right, in its sole discretion, not to (i) link a Member’s Account, or (ii) credit a Member’s Account, and/or (iii) cancel any Miles already credited to a Member’s Account, where Emirates has reason to believe that:

The Programme Rules may be changed, varied, suspended or terminated at any time without notice where permitted by law, save that reasonable efforts will be used to promptly post details of that change or variation, suspension or termination (as the case may be) to the Website. In the event of any conflict between this version of the Programme Rules and any version of the Programme Rules published on the Website for Emirates Skywards, the latter shall prevail.
  2. The Member's use of his or her digital membership card or quoting of his or her membership number after any change or variation to the Programme Rules will be deemed to be acceptance by the Member to that change or variation.
  3. Some functions and features of the Website may differ or be absent from the mobile version of the Website or the Emirates App, and therefore such functions and features shall only be accessible via the desktop version of the Website.
  4. Any notice to be given to a Member under these Programme Rules will be deemed to have been given if posted by pre‑paid post to the Member at the address provided by the Member for the purposes of Emirates Skywards.

Reasonable care has been taken to ensure that information contained in the Programme Rules and in any publications and advertisements in connection with Emirates Skywards is accurate, but Emirates Skywards will not accept any liability with respect to any errors or omissions in any information, whether written or verbal.
  8. Any part of these Programme Rules that is unenforceable for any reason shall be considered capable of being cut out so as not to affect the remainder of these Programme Rules in any way. Emirates shall not be required to provide any service or otherwise act in pursuance of these Programme Rules if to do so would be contrary to law.

23. Emirates Skywards Use of One-time Passcode

As an added security measure, Emirates Skywards has introduced a second‑level authentication through use of a one-time passcode for certain Account activities, such as Account login, profile updates and redemption activities (one‑time passcode service).

A one‑time passcode is a randomly generated number which Emirates will SMS and/or email to a Member in connection with certain Account activities. This is a second‑level authentication, which may be required from the Member in order to confirm that the Account activity has been authorised by the Member. The Member will be informed at the time of the relevant Account activity if a one‑time passcode is required.

Where a one‑time passcode is required in connection with a Member’s Account, Emirates will send the one‑time passcode by SMS to the Member’s registered mobile number and/or an email to the Member’s email address registered on their Emirates Skywards Account (as shown in the Member’s Account profile).

Members should ensure that all information (including, but not limited to, contact details) provided to Emirates is accurate and up to date at all times. If a Member fails to provide Emirates with or update any required information, Emirates may not be able to issue the one‑time passcode which may result in a Member’s inability to access their Account. Members can update their Emirates Skywards Account profile at any time to ensure that their contact details are up to date.

Emirates may, in its sole discretion, contact a Member (including on a recorded line) to verify a Member’s identity and the Account activity. Repeated failure to input the correct one‑time passcode may result in a Member’s Account becoming locked or in the imposition of other restrictions on its use, as prescribed by Emirates from time to time. As part of its fraud prevention and Member verification procedures, Emirates may request further details or identification from a Member.

Members should not allow their Account number or one‑time passcode to be used by any other person and Members should at all times ensure that their Account number and one‑time passcode is not disclosed to any other person. If a one‑time passcode is disclosed to or discovered by any other person, the Member should immediately notify Emirates Skywards of the incident by contacting SkywardsMemberVerification@emirates.com.

Through the use of the one‑time passcode service, members authorise Emirates to communicate the one‑time passcode to the Member and to authenticate the Member’s identity and Account activity through use of the one‑time passcode. If a Member cannot provide the one‑time passcode or if authentication via one‑time passcode fails, Emirates may restrict access to the Member’s Account.

The mobile service provider may not allow a Member to receive the one‑time passcode via SMS if the Member is abroad or using an overseas mobile service network. In addition, service charges may be levied by the service provider for receiving a one‑time passcode.

Emirates shall not, in any circumstances, be liable for any loss or damages arising out of or in connection with a Member’s inability to access their Account where one‑time passcode authentication is delayed or fails for any reason. Emirates Skywards shall not be liable for any such charges levied by the service provider or any other party.

Emirates reserves the right to add, suspend or terminate one‑time passcode services or its use temporarily or permanently at any time, without prior notice, for any reason where Emirates considers it necessary or advisable to do so, including, but not limited to, when there is a suspected breach of security, or when Emirates has reasonable grounds to suspect that information provided by a Member is not current or accurate.
