Emirates Skywards launches 'Season of Rewards' with more miles and member benefits
Emirates Skywards is launching 'Season of Rewards', a new global campaign for members of the airline's loyalty programme. Running from May 21 to August 31, 2026, the initiative offers members more opportunities to earn and redeem miles throughout their entire travel experience, from flights and hotel stays to car rentals and vacation packages and lifestyle experiences.
Among the main new features of the campaign are the enhanced benefits with Cash+Miles on Emirates and flydubai flights. During the promotional period, members can enjoy double savings on flights and extras, including additional baggage, lounge access and seat selection. Specifically, 2,000 Skywards Miles save you $30, instead of the usual $15.
The campaign also includes an acceleration for achieving or renewing status: Skywards members receive 20% bonus Tier Miles on every Emirates or flydubai flight flown until 31 August 2026, while also benefiting from reduced thresholds to progress through the programme levels.
Ample space is also given to travel partners. Members can earn 50% bonus Skywards Miles on hotel stays, car rentals, partner flights and Emirates Holidays. The offering includes companies such as Emirates Skywards Hotels, Marriott Bonvoy, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Jumeirah, Hertz, Avis & Budget, Europcar, Sixt, United Airlines, Air Canada, Aegean Airlines and Japan Airlines. Registration is required and each member can earn up to 10,000 bonus miles per partner.
For those who want to use their miles for travel, Emirates Skywards is also offering a promotion on easyJet and Jet2 flight rewards, which can be booked from 4,500 miles instead of 9,000 between 21 May and 31 August 2026, on all available routes, cabins and fares.
With more than 38 million members worldwide, Emirates Skywards confirms its position as one of the airline industry's most important loyalty programmes. The program includes four membership levels, Blue, Silver, Gold and Platinum, and allows you to earn and redeem miles on flights, upgrades, hotels, shopping, exclusive experiences and travel-related services.
