Emirates revives Mile-A-Minute promotion for Dubai visits

Emirates Skywards has brought back its limited-time Mile-A-Minute promotion, offering members one bonus Skywards Mile for every minute of an eligible stay in Dubai. The offer applies to qualifying return flights marketed by Emirates or flydubai, with bookings required by 5 November 2026 and travel permitted through 13 December. UAE residents are excluded.

Members must register for the promotion and begin their journey outside the United Arab Emirates. Eligible stays must last at least 24 hours and no more than 30 days, with the qualifying period calculated from the scheduled arrival and departure times shown on the ticket rather than the passenger’s actual time in Dubai. New Skywards members may participate if they enrol and register by the deadline.

The bonus is additional to the standard Skywards miles earned on qualifying tickets. It is limited to 7,200 miles per member, equivalent to five days or 120 hours in Dubai. A 24-hour stay earns 1,440 bonus miles, while three days produces 4,320 miles. Longer stays remain eligible under the travel rules but generate no additional promotional miles beyond the cap.

The offer covers eligible Emirates and flydubai fares and flights, subject to the programme’s conditions. One-way and award tickets are excluded, and the bonus is credited once for the first qualifying stay during the promotion period. Emirates first introduced the campaign in 2021 and has brought it back for the Dubai winter season.
