Emirates Skywards has recently launched a creative promotion that benefits members with one mile for each minute spent in Dubai. This innovative initiative is applicable for tickets purchased between October 21 and November 5, 2026, with travel dates that extend from October 21 to December 13, 2026. To take part, Skywards members are required to register and book a roundtrip ticket starting outside the UAE via Emirates or flydubai. The duration of stay in Dubai must be between 24 hours and 30 days, and only tickets that are eligible to accrue Skywards miles qualify, excluding reward tickets.
This promotion provides a generous earning potential of 1,440 miles each day, capped at 7,200 bonus miles, which can be reached after a five-day stay. This makes it an appealing choice for individuals contemplating a stopover in Dubai. Nonetheless, the timing of this offer coincides with a Level 3 travel advisory issued by the US Department of State, recommending that travelers reassess their plans to visit the UAE.
Emirates seeks to enhance Dubai’s economy by promoting tourism, working in conjunction with their “My Emirates Pass” initiative that provides discounts at retailers across the UAE. Regardless of the travel advisory, this promotion offers a distinctive chance for travelers to accumulate miles while discovering Dubai.
