Sell Skywards
Sell requests are reviewed individually against Skywards terms; the account holder is responsible for compliance.
What to weigh first
Redemption value
Value depends heavily on which award level is available. Saver awards can be excellent; Flex Plus rarely is.
Transfer rules
Emirates supports buying, gifting and transferring miles for a fee, plus My Family pooling in eligible markets.
Expiry
Skywards Miles have a defined validity period that is not purely activity-based. Confirm the current rule with Emirates.
Alternatives to selling Skywards Miles
How Skywards awards are priced
Redemptions cover Emirates and flydubai flights at tiered award levels, upgrades, partner awards, and Skywards experiences.
Where the balance came from
Miles accrue on Emirates and flydubai flights, Skywards co-brand cards, hotel and retail partners, and Skywards Everyday programmes in some markets.
Partner airlines worth checking first
Before requesting a sell quote, price a redemption on flydubai, Qantas, Japan Airlines, United — partner availability often turns an idle Skywards Miles balance into a better outcome than a sale.
