Emirates Skywards Launches Miles-to-Cash Conversion in UAE

Emirates Skywards loyalty program has announced more options for spending miles through the 'Skywards Everyday' app. Now, members in the United Arab Emirates can directly convert their Skywards miles into cashback, which is added to their cards when shopping with the app's approved partners.

To celebrate the launch of this new feature and to offer greater flexibility to members, Emirates Skywards members in the UAE will benefit from a special launch offer, providing a 50% discount on miles converted to cashback, until February 28, 2026.

The 'Skywards Everyday' app allows members to earn and spend with over 500 partner brands across a wide range of categories, including restaurants, shopping, beauty and wellness, groceries, and services, with a selection of well-known brands, including Costa Coffee, Solt, Jaber Opticians, Emirates Service Stations, Swarovski, Guess, NARS, Farm Rio, Cole Haan, as well as jewelry from Karam, Tory Burch, Lacoste, and many more.

Dr. Najib Ben Khedir, Emirates Skywards' Senior Vice President, said: 'We are pleased to announce providing more flexibility to our members in the UAE, as the Skywards Everyday app now offers the option to convert miles to cashback. This new feature is a valuable addition that enhances our members' experience in their daily activities.'

After any purchase, the 'Skywards Everyday' app allows members to choose whether they want to earn or spend miles. If spending is chosen, a notification appears, allowing the member to convert miles to cashback via the app. If earning is chosen, the process continues as usual, and miles are added to the member's account.

Members can save up to five Visa or Mastercard debit or credit cards in the 'Skywards Everyday' app. Additionally, members can earn more miles when using co-branded Emirates Skywards credit cards.

This new feature confirms the freedom of choice that members now have, whether to earn miles or convert them to cashback when shopping with 'Skywards Everyday' partners.

Start earning and spending miles in three simple steps:

  1. Members residing outside the UAE can also download the 'Skywards Everyday' app and earn miles while visiting the country.
  2. Download the 'Skywards Everyday' app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and log in using your Emirates Skywards credentials.
  3. Automatically earn miles every time you use an app-linked card with over 500 'Skywards Everyday' partners across the UAE. Skywards members earn one mile for every 3 AED spent at main stores, leisure activities, luxury shopping, beauty and wellness, and services, and they earn one mile for every 5 AED spent on grocery and pharmacy purchases.

Our members can earn and spend miles with over 500 brands across the country, and then benefit from rewards by earning miles or receiving instant cashback added to their cards.
