Emirates Skywards has added a cashback option to its Skywards Everyday app, allowing members in the UAE to convert Skywards Miles into cashback for purchases made across the programme’s partner network.
The airline loyalty programme said the feature enables members to convert Miles directly into cashback at more than 500 partner brands in the UAE. To mark the launch, members in the UAE will receive 50 per cent off Miles converted into cashback until February 28, 2026.
The cashback option is available through the Skywards Everyday app. Members can earn and convert Miles across categories including dining, shopping, beauty and wellness, groceries and services.

“We’re pleased to announce even more flexibility for our members across the UAE, as the Skywards Everyday app now gives them the option to convert Miles into cashback. Our members can earn and spend on-the-go across 500 of the UAE’s favourite brands and then get rewarded with Miles or cashback on their card. It’s another added value on everyday activities that our members appreciate,” Dr. Nejib Ben Khedher, Divisional Senior Vice President Emirates Skywards said in a statement.
How Skywards members can earn and convert Miles
Members can start earning and converting Miles by downloading the Skywards Everyday app from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store and logging in using their Emirates Skywards membership details. Users can save up to five Visa or Mastercard debit or credit cards.
If members choose to earn Miles, the process remains unchanged and Miles are added automatically. If they choose to convert Miles, the app prompts them to select whether to earn Miles or convert them into cashback at the point of purchase.
Skywards members earn 1 Mile for every AED 3 spent on high street shopping, leisure and entertainment, luxury shopping, beauty and wellness, services and dining. They earn 1 Mile for every AED 5 spent on groceries and pharmacy purchases. Members can earn additional Miles when using an Emirates Skywards Credit Card.
Members living outside the UAE can also download the Skywards Everyday app and earn Miles when visiting the country.
