DUBAI: Emirates Skywards, the loyalty program of Emirates and flydubai, is bringing back “tier miles “for members to earn points on everyday spending until the end of the year.

The offer allows Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Citibank, and Emirates NBD credit card holders to earn tier miles, on top of Skyward miles, on purchases such as online shopping, utility bill payments, and groceries.  

The new offer allows members of the loyalty program to still earn points even on the ground and comes as airline ramp up their loyalty scheme incentives globally to encourage passengers to return to the skies.

Members can also fast-track to the next tier status through the tier miles earned, the company added in a statement.

“We remain committed to always offering our loyal members greater value, choice and opportunities to earn and redeem miles on unmatched rewards and privileges,” said Nejib Ben Khedher, divisional senior vice president at Emirates Skywards.

The loyalty program has 1.9 million UAE-based members.
