Before you sell: know the risk
Selling Skywards Miles is against the Emirates Skywards program rules. The rules prohibit selling or transferring miles, and Emirates can terminate the account, which forfeits the miles in it. We cannot promise how Emirates will respond to a sale.

Selling and Redeeming Emirates Skywards Miles
Emirates Skywards has two kinds of miles: Skywards Miles, which you spend, and Tier Miles, which count toward your membership tier.
The tiers are Blue, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Blue is the entry level. At the time of writing, Emirates lists Silver at 25,000 Tier Miles, Gold at 50,000 and Platinum at 150,000 plus at least one qualifying flight in First Class or Business Class. Thresholds, benefits and earning rates change, so check Emirates’ membership tiers page for the current rules.
Other ways to earn Skywards Miles:
Skywards Miles are also earned on Emirates’ partner airlines, such as flydubai, Qantas and United Airlines, and with bank, hotel, car rental and retail partners. The partner list changes, so check Emirates’ Skywards partners page for the current one.
- Buying the miles at a special rate – The Points King also sells Emirates miles if you want to accumulate them to upgrade to first class.
