- Two global and iconic loyalty brands expand strategic partnership.

Dubai, UAE: 27 May 2025 – Emirates Skywards has enhanced its partnership with Marriott Bonvoy to offer members the opportunity to convert Miles to Points, and Points to Miles. The strategic partnership will unlock even more rewards for 35 million members worldwide, who can now enjoy seamless conversions.
The new benefit further enhances the already strong collaboration between both loyalty programs, which currently offers Members the chance to earn twice the rewards on both flights and hotel stays. Members can earn Skywards Miles in addition to Marriott Bonvoy points for stays at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels, and Marriott Bonvoy points in addition to Skywards Miles when flying with Emirates.
Dr. Nejib Ben Khedher, Divisional Senior Vice President Emirates Skywards, said: “Marriott Bonvoy offers one of the most fantastic hotel portfolios in the industry, and as one of the most valued and recognized loyalty programs in the world – we’re thrilled to take our partnership to the next level. Our 35 million members have benefitted from this strategic partnership for more than 10 years – earning twice the rewards on flights and hotel stays. And we’ve now opened a world of new rewards with the option to convert Miles to Points. This means members can redeem Points towards stays at more than 30 hotel brands and over 10,000 destinations across 144 countries and territories.
At the same time, Marriott Bonvoy members can still enjoy converting Points to Miles to ‘fly better’ with Emirates to more than 140 destinations across the airline’s extensive network. We’re proud of our long-standing partnership and as two global brand leaders – we look forward to delivering more benefits, value, and the very best travel experiences for our members worldwide.”
Philip Andreopoulos, Chief Commercial Officer – EMEA, Marriott International commented: “It is great to see our strong partnership with Emirates Skywards expand, to be able to offer our Marriott Bonvoy members more unique and diverse travel experiences, along with personalised benefits that they can access across the globe. The addition of this new benefit reflects the shared vision and collaboration between the two programmes and brings a more holistic travel experience for all of our loyal members.”
