Emirates Skywards brings back Mile-A-Minute: up to 7,200 bonus miles in Dubai

Emirates has relaunched its Skywards "Mile-A-Minute" offer for visitors to Dubai. The release is dated 22 October 2026.

How it works

Eligible members earn one bonus Skywards Mile for every minute spent in Dubai, capped at 7,200 bonus miles, which Emirates describes as five days. Registration and booking run from 21 October to 5 November 2026, and travel must happen between 21 October and 13 December 2026.

Who qualifies

The offer is for Skywards members who live outside the UAE. They need a return flight that starts outside the UAE, booked on Emirates or flydubai, in any cabin and on any fare type. The stay in Dubai must be at least 24 hours and no more than 30 days. Miles are credited automatically after the stay. The release refers to terms but doesn't list them on the page, and it doesn't give a crediting date.

What to do

The booking window closes first, so if you are already planning a Dubai stopover, check whether you need to register before you book. Work out whether the extra miles justify any change to your plans, since a 7,200-mile cap is a modest bonus. Read the full terms on Emirates' offer page for blackout rules and eligibility details that the release doesn't spell out.

As of Oct 26, 2026; registration and booking close Nov 5 and travel ends Dec 13. Confirm on the Emirates Skywards offer page (emirates.com) before you book.
