9. Skywards Miles belonging to Platinum tier Members will not expire for as long as the Member retains their Platinum tier status. Accordingly, an Adjusted Expiration date will be displayed to Platinum Members in cases where the Member has Skywards Miles that, as per Standard Expiration, were originally due to expire within their current tier review period.
   
   The Adjusted Expiration will always be a date that is two (2) months after the Member’s upcoming tier review date. For example: if a Platinum tier Member (with next tier review date of August 31 2019) has Skywards Miles due to expire on January 31 2019 as per Standard Expiry, that Member will see an Adjusted Expiry date of October 31 2019 (calculated as two (2) months after his/her upcoming tier review date).
• As soon as a Member upgrades to the Platinum tier, the Adjusted Expiration date will be updated against any Skywards Miles that, as per Standard Expiration, were due to expire within their current Platinum tier review period. Any Skywards Miles that expired prior to the Member upgrading to the Platinum tier will not be reinstated, including in cases of retroactive claims for missing Skywards Miles which may have led to a Member upgrading to the Platinum tier prior to the expiration date.    
• Each time a Member retains their Platinum tier status, any unused Skywards Miles that had an Adjusted Expiration date will be further extended to a date that is two (2) months after the Member’s next tier review date.
• When a Member is unable to retain their Platinum tier status, any unredeemed Skywards Miles that benefited from an Adjusted Expiration when the Member was in the Platinum tier, will expire as per the date stated on the Member’s Emirates Skywards Account.
• Adjusted Expiration will also apply to the portion of Skywards Miles pooled into the My Family Account by a Platinum tier Member only, irrespective of whether as a Family Head or as a Family Member.
• Adjusted Expiration will also apply to Skywards Miles where additional validity was previously purchased through the Extend Miles or Reinstate Miles products set out in paragraph 9.

For the avoidance of doubt, Skywards Miles will expire on the stated date of expiration, whether as per Standard Expiration or Adjusted Expiration, if the Member’s tier status displayed on emirates.com is not Platinum on said date. No exceptions will be available for Platinum tier Members who may have had Skywards Miles expire prior to the above-mentioned effective date.

10. Tier benefits and privileges provided to a Member at each Membership Tier may be changed by Emirates Skywards at any time without notice.

Partner transactions prior to the enrollment date are not eligible to accrue Skywards Miles. Skywards Miles and Tier Miles earned on Qualifying Flights can be viewed via the Miles Calculator on the Website.

2.

6. Members under the age of 18 accrue Miles at the same rate as adult Members.

7. If a Member purchases a mixed-fare and/or mixed-cabin ticket on Qualifying Flights, Miles will be credited 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 the My Itinerary section of the Website or the Emirates Skywards section of the Emirates App or under the Manage a Booking section of emirates.com or flydubai.com.

8. If part of a ticket is voided or refunded, Miles will be credited only for the Qualifying Flights actually taken on that ticket.

Until the child turns 18, the parent or guardian will decide on the Miles contribution percentage on behalf of the child.

14. The Family Head and Family Members will earn Miles and Tier Miles in their individual Emirates Skywards account based on their individual Emirates Skywards Membership Tier.
