Emirates Will Pay You in Miles to Stay in Dubai

Already planning Dubai, or looking for a reason to? Emirates Skywards is bringing back an offer that pays you in miles for time on the ground: 1 Skywards mile for every minute you spend in Dubai, up to 7,200 miles, which is five full days. Those miles come on top of what you earn for the flights, and they are credited automatically after your stay.

The terms decide who gets this, so here they are:

• Register and book an eligible return flight on Emirates or flydubai between October 21 and November 5, 2026
• Travel between October 21 and December 13, 2026
• Stay at least 24 hours and no more than 30 days
• Your return flight must start outside the UAE
• Open to Skywards members who live outside the UAE
• Any cabin, any fare

Registration happens on emirates.com, the Emirates app, flydubai.com or other eligible channels, and the deadline is the same November 5. Not a member yet? Joining is free, and you can register as long as you do it before that deadline.

The meter stops at five days, so a longer stay adds nothing to the 7,200 total, and a stay past 30 days falls outside the offer. Booking alone is not enough either: the registration is what counts, so do both together and you will not be scrambling on November 5.
