Emirates Skywards and Marriott Bonvoy: Renewed Partnership for Frequent Travelers
This expansion opens the door to more benefits for its 35 million members worldwide
Emirates Skywards, the loyalty program of Emirates and flydubai, is strengthening its partnership with Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott International's rewards program, to offer its members a new advantage: converting miles into points, quickly and hassle-free.
With this new feature, the collaboration between the two brands, which already allows you to earn double rewards on both flights and hotel stays, becomes even more attractive. Currently, members can earn Skywards Miles in addition to Marriott Bonvoy points for staying at participating hotels, and also earn Marriott Bonvoy points, in addition to Skywards Miles, when flying with Emirates.
Dr. Nejib Ben Khedher, Senior Vice President, Emirates Skywards, commented: “Marriott Bonvoy has one of the most incredible hotel offerings in the industry, and as one of the most recognized loyalty programs globally, we are delighted to take this partnership to the next level.
Our 35 million members have enjoyed this strategic relationship for more than 10 years, allowing them to earn double the rewards. Now we're giving them access to a universe of new possibilities with the option to convert miles to points. This will allow them to redeem points at more than 30 hotel brands and more than 10,000 destinations in 144 countries and territories.
“At the same time, Marriott Bonvoy members can continue to convert their points into miles to fly better with Emirates to more than 140 destinations around the world. This long-standing partnership between two global brands will continue to grow to offer even more value, benefits, and exceptional travel experiences to our members.”
Philip Andreopoulos, Chief Commercial Officer for EMEA at Marriott International, added: “We are excited to expand this strong partnership with Emirates Skywards, as it allows us to offer our Marriott Bonvoy members more comprehensive, personalized, and diverse travel experiences. This new conversion option reflects the shared vision between both programs and cements a more holistic approach to travel for our loyal customers.”
How does it work?
Members can continue to earn double rewards on flights and stays, including:
1 Skywards Mile for every US dollar spent on stays at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels (in addition to Bonvoy points).
3 Marriott Bonvoy points for every dollar spent when flying Emirates (plus Skywards Miles).
In addition, it is now possible to:
Convert 3 Marriott Bonvoy points for 1 Skywards Mile, and as a bonus, receive an additional 5,000 miles for every 60,000 points converted.
Convert 3 Skywards Miles for 2 Marriott Bonvoy points, with a minimum conversion of 3,000 miles.
