Earlier this year skywardsmilesmall.com was launched – introducing over a thousand new ways to earn Miles while shopping online with popular UK and US brands. Customers can also benefit from the

 Emirates Skywards’ introduction of personalised offers integrated within the booking flow is an industry-first loyalty benefit.  Logged-in members can avail enhanced Cash+Miles redemption rates and discounted Miles Upgrades when booking flights directly on emirates.com and the Emirates app.
They can enjoy more personalised offerings at their fingertips through four Skywards apps.  Emirates Skywards also has a partnership with The Dubai Mall, rewarding members with Skywards Miles when shopping at over 1,300 brands, dining at over 200 outlets and visiting attractions at the world’s largest shopping destination.
