Skywards, the frequent-flyer programme of Emirates and SriLankan Airlines, is now offering its members Skywards Gift Vouchers in exchange for their accumulated miles.

The vouchers can be exchanged for a variety of products and services from jewellery to cruises and offers members a new and convenient way of redeeming their miles for partner rewards. Valid for use within the UAE, the Skywards Gift Vouchers are valued Dh50 (redeemable for 5,000 miles), Dh100 (redeemable for 8,000 miles) and Dh500 (redeemable for 39,000 miles). The vouchers can be exchanged for any items at Damas, Magrudy’s and Rivoli outlets. They can also be used them to book a cruise with Danat Dubai Cruises, book a car from Budget Rent-a-Car or book a treatment at Le Méridien Dubai’s Natural Elements Spa & Fitness Club. “Skywards not only rewards customers with free flights and upgrades, we also like to show our appreciation of their loyalty by treating them to luxury goods and services such as a cruise or a spa treatment,” said Brian LaBelle, vice-president at Skywards.
