How to earn Emirates Skywards miles from UK credit cards

How to earn Emirates Skywards miles from UK credit cards (March 2024)

Emirates Skywards does not have a UK credit card.  However, you can earn Emirates Skywards miles by converting Membership Rewards points earned from selected UK American Express cards.

Cards earning Membership Rewards points include:

Membership Rewards points convert at 1:1 into Emirates Skywards miles which is an attractive rate.  The cards above all earn 1 Membership Rewards point per £1 spent on your card, which converts to 1 Emirates Skywards mile. The Gold card earns double points (2 per £1) on all flights you charge to it.

    Totally OT but anyone have advice on what to do with miles from KLM flight for someone who rarely flies with them or Air France? Can you credit them elsewhere?

    I bought 2000 and 4000 via groupon on 18th April. The 4000 was credited quite quickly, however still waiting for the 2000 avoid to credit. Does anybody know what to do to get them to credit it?

    My Avios hadn’t posted either at the start of May. I sent Iberia a private message on Facebook and they got them to post within a week or two. Very responsive and easy to deal with.

  • robert says:

    Rob, no problem with getting the avios credited but still waiting for the bonus avios to come thru. anyone got any idea how long this takes. do they go directly to Iberia plus or do you have to do something with the groupon account?
