What is the difference between Skywards Miles and tier miles?
Skywards Miles are your reward currency and are earned whenever you fly with Emirates, our partner airlines*, and through our hotel, leisure and lifestyle partners.Tier miles are earned only when you fly Emirates and help you to progress to Skysurfers Silver and Skysurfers Gold membership. Tier miles are earned at the same rate of one tier mile for each Skywards Mile you earn on your flight, plus a bonus of 50% for Business Class and 100% for First Class.Your Skywards Miles are valid for three years from the date you earn them, during which you can redeem them at any time for rewards. Effective March 2008, your Skywards Miles will expire once in a calendar year, at the end of the month in which you are born. ** Please note that on codeshare flights, Skywards Miles will only be earned on flights that carry an Emirates flight number. A codeshare flight is one where an airline sells tickets under its name for flights operated by a partner carrier.
