& Greet services, alongside exclusive benefits for eligible Emirates
Skywards Visa credit cardholders in the GCC.
More value for everyday spending
Through Skywards Everyday, members can instantly
convert Skywards Miles into cashback at hundreds of participating retail,
dining and lifestyle outlets across the UAE, including Careem, Costa Coffee,
MMI, BinSina Pharmacy, Al Jaber Optical, The Body Shop and NARS. During the
campaign, just 350 Skywards Miles can be redeemed for AED 10 in cashback.

digital gift cards through Skywards Miles Mall. Available from 2,000 Skywards
Miles, gift cards can be redeemed online or in-store with participating brands
including Amazon AE, Deliveroo, Apple, NIKE and Shukran.
More ways to redeem Miles
The promotion also extends to a wider range of
travel-related services. Skywards Miles can be used for purchases at
participating Dubai Duty Free outlets, official Emirates merchandise from the
Emirates Official Store and marhaba Airport Meet & Greet services,
available to passengers travelling with Emirates or any other airline.
Eligible Emirates Skywards Visa credit cardholders in
the GCC can also receive up to 20% off selected event redemptions through
Skywards Exclusives. The offer applies to participating sporting and
entertainment events marked with the "Co-Brand Offer" label.
Five million Skywards Miles up for grabs
The campaign runs alongside Emirates Skywards'
largest-ever Dubai Summer Surprises promotion. Until 30 August 2026, members
who spend AED 200 or more with participating Skywards Everyday partners or
through Skywards Miles Mall UAE will automatically be entered into a prize
draw.
A total of 500 winners will each receive 10,000
Skywards Miles, with five million Skywards Miles available throughout the
campaign. Every qualifying transaction provides an additional entry, increasing
members' chances of winning.
Participants can also earn up to one Skywards Mile per
US dollar spent at Dubai Mall, depending on their membership tier, complete
weekly challenges in the Skywards Everyday app for additional rewards and
benefit from bonus Miles offers with selected Emirates Skywards travel partners
during the Dubai Summer Surprises festival.
With enhanced redemption opportunities, exclusive
cardholder offers and bonus earning promotions, Emirates Skywards aims to give
members more ways to make every Skywards Mile go further throughout the summer.
