Emirates Skywards relaunches Mile-A-Minute offer for Dubai visits
Members earn one Skywards Mile per minute spent in Dubai, capped at 7,200 bonus Miles for stays between October and December 2026.
Emirates Skywards relaunched its Mile-A-Minute promotional offer on October 21, 2026, awarding members one Skywards Mile for each minute they spend in Dubai, with a ceiling of 7,200 bonus Miles per stay. The loyalty programme, operated by Emirates and flydubai, first introduced the promotion in 2021 and timed the relaunch to coincide with Dubai's winter season.
Registration and travel windows#
Members must register by November 5, 2026, through Emirates and flydubai websites and mobile applications. Eligible return flights must originate outside the UAE and be booked between October 21 and November 5, 2026. Travel to Dubai must occur between October 21 and December 13, 2026, with a minimum stay of 24 hours and a maximum of 30 days. The offer is open to Emirates Skywards members residing outside the UAE.
Bonus calculation and earning structure#
The ceiling of 7,200 Miles corresponds to 120 hours, equivalent to five full days in Dubai. Bonus Miles are calculated from scheduled arrival and departure times and credited automatically after the stay. Members staying longer than five days still earn the maximum 7,200 Miles, while shorter visits earn Miles for actual time spent. The bonus applies across all cabin classes and fare types and is earned in addition to Miles collected on eligible Emirates and flydubai tickets.
Partner earning opportunities in Dubai#
Members can earn additional Miles through Skywards partners in Dubai. Arabian Adventures offers Mile earning or redemption on selected desert safaris and sightseeing tours. The Skywards Everyday app permits members to register up to five payment cards and collect Miles at hundreds of partner brands throughout the UAE in categories including dining, shopping, wellness and leisure. Miles earned can be used for flight bookings and cabin upgrades with Emirates and flydubai, accommodation bookings, exclusive experiences available through Skywards Exclusives, and journeys on the Skywards Rail network in Europe. Members can also combine cash with Miles to lower the cost of flights.
Eligibility and membership requirements#
Travellers who are not yet Emirates Skywards members can join the programme at no cost and register before the November 5, 2026 booking deadline. The promotion requires members to book eligible return flights and complete stays within the specified travel window to qualify for bonus Mile credits.
