Emirates Skywards Offers a Bonus Mile for Each Minute Spent in Dubai
Emirates is running a limited-time promotion that gives Skywards members one bonus mile per minute in Dubai, with the total capped at 7,200 miles.
Emirates has launched a new Skywards promotion called Mile-A-Minute. For each minute a member spends in Dubai, they get one extra mile as a bonus. The offer runs for a limited time.
The cap is 7,200 miles. That equals five days in the city. The clock keeps running while you eat, sleep or relax by the pool.
Outlets say the goal is to get travelers to stay and spend money in Dubai instead of only changing planes there. One Mile at a Time notes that Emirates also wants to support the Dubai economy by bringing in visitors.
This is not the first time. According to View from the Wing, Emirates ran the same promotion in August 2021. That outlet also says it would not book an extra hotel night just to earn 1,440 Skywards miles, which is one day of earning.
What it means for travelers
The offer rewards travelers who stay in Dubai instead of just passing through. Still, the bonus miles are small next to the cost of extra hotel nights. Two outlets also say travelers should decide for themselves whether they want to visit Dubai right now.
What to watch next
Check the official Emirates Skywards terms for the end date, how to register and how stays are counted before you book. Confirm all details with Emirates directly.
