Flying via Emirates Airlines to the different parts of the world is getting more exciting with a reward programme introduced by the company.
The airline operator, through its award-winning loyalty programme, Emirates Skywards, has rolled out an exclusive offer to help members fast-track to higher tier status.
A statement from the organisation disclosed that members can automatically earn double Tier Miles on all Emirates and flydubai flights booked from April 1 until 30 June, for travel between April 1 and December 30, 2021.
The offer applies to any ticket, regardless of fare type, purchased on Emirates or flydubai during the offer period – helping members quickly earn sufficient Tier Miles to bump up against one-tier status higher.
For example, an Emirates Skywards Blue tier member can upgrade to an Emirates Skywards Silver tier member, and an Emirates Skywards Silver tier member can upgrade to an Emirates Skywards Gold tier member, the statement explained.
To be eligible for the promotion, customers need to simply be existing Emirates Skywards members or join as a new member before June 30, 2021.
Members can now move up tiers faster and unlock an extensive range of benefits and rewards.
Emirates Skywards offers four tiers of membership – Blue, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Each Tier offers members unique privileges and advantages, including lounge access, priority boarding, dedicated check-in counters, complimentary seat selection and much more, the company further explained.
It also said in addition to earning double Tier Miles, members will still be able to earn Skywards Miles on flights flown during the offer period.
Skywards Miles can be redeemed for an extensive range of rewards, including flight upgrades, hotel stays and money-can’t-buy experiences, it said.
With more than 27 million members worldwide – Emirates Skywards continues to provide its members with rich value offerings, unmatched rewards and innovative offerings.
Earlier this year, the loyalty programme was one of the first in the world, and first in the region, to offer members a generous extension on tier status until 2022.
The loyalty programme has also extended the validity of any Skywards Miles due to expire from April 2020 until June 30, 2021.
