In addition to existing cooperation, members can earn double rewards on Emirates flights and Marriott hotel stays.
Earning and Converting Both Ways:

3 Bonvoy Points for every 1 USD spent on Emirates flights, in addition to Skywards Miles.
• Converting Points to Miles:
3 Bonvoy Points can be converted to 1 Skywards Mile
Special Bonus: For every 60,000 Bonvoy Points converted, 5,000 additional Skywards Miles will be added
• Converting Miles to Points:
3 Skywards Miles can be converted to 2 Marriott Bonvoy Points
A minimum of 3,000 miles is required for conversion
Conversions can be made via the official Emirates Skywards website, allowing members to link accounts and convert as needed with a single click.
