Emirates Skywards has come a long way since its 2000 launch with just 76,000 members. Today, it boasts around 37 million members in 190+ countries – India alone is Emirates’ fifth-largest market, with over 2 million Skywards members. Along the way, Skywards built a vast network: hundreds of airline and lifestyle partners, over 1,400 flight destinations, and 30,000+ hotels, plus 20 co-branded cards and thousands of retail outlets.
In regular times, Skywards processes over 120,000 miles-earning transactions daily, and members have redeemed nearly 400 billion miles to date. The program was recently crowned “Best Global Airline Loyalty Program” at the 2025 International Loyalty Awards, and it ranks among the world’s top loyalty schemes (e.g., #9 globally and #1 in the Middle East/Africa in one 2025 industry survey).
Emirates’ 25 years celebrations: a million miles giveaway
To mark its 25th anniversary, Emirates launched a Silver Jubilee campaign in late September 2025. For 25 days (September 25 – October 20), members are treated to sweepstakes, surprises, and bonus offers. A new “25 Years” silver livery has even appeared on an A380 flying worldwide (a fun spectacle for frequent DXB travellers).

Three tiers of prizes are on offer: 1 Million Miles, 250,000 Miles or 100,000 Miles. You need to earn Skywards Miles between 25 September and 20 October with Emirates, flydubai and participating partners to enter the draw.
