Earn up to 4x Skywards Miles on Emirates or flydubai
Emirates has announced an accelerated mileage earning program. You can earn bonus miles on any flights operated and / or marketed by Emirates and flydubai. This is not a targeted offer and is also available to those who do not have a Skywards account.
You can register using this link.
The Arithmetic
Relatively simple.
You earn 100% bonus miles (2x) on your first ticket, 200% (3x) on your second ticket and 300% (4x) on your 3rd ticket.
No bonus after 3rd ticket. So if you have more than 3 itineraries during the eligible dates, don’t mention your Skywards membership number for the itinerary you want to exclude.
