With this initiative, more than 35 million members worldwide can enjoy a broader, more flexible, and rewarding loyalty experience than ever before.
The new approach enables, for the first time, two-way conversion:
Skywards Miles to Marriott Bonvoy Points
Bonvoy Points to Skywards Miles
This is in addition to the existing collaboration where members can earn double rewards — both for flights with Emirates and stays at Marriott hotels.
Earning and converting in both directions:
• Earning double rewards:
1 Skywards Mile for every USD 1 spent on stays at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels — in addition to Bonvoy Points.
3 Bonvoy Points for every USD 1 spent on flights with Emirates — in addition to Skywards Miles.
• Converting points to miles:
Members can convert 3 Bonvoy Points to 1 Skywards Mile
Special bonus: 5,000 additional Skywards Miles for every 60,000 Bonvoy Points transferred
• Converting miles to points:
Members can convert 3 Skywards Miles to 2 Marriott Bonvoy Points
A minimum of 3,000 miles is required for conversion
Conversions are performed through the official Emirates Skywards website, allowing members to link both accounts and perform conversions with a single click as needed.
"Connecting Two Leading Global Brands"
Dr. Najib Ben Khedher, Senior Vice President at Emirates Skywards, stated: "Marriott Bonvoy is one of the industry's leading programs, and we are proud to expand our partnership with them. The ability to convert miles to points opens up a new world of rewards — providing access to over 10,000 hotels in 144 countries. This is a significant step for our members, who will now enjoy greater flexibility in choosing how and where to redeem their benefits."
