Transferring Rewards To Emirates Skywards

Emirates transfer partners

Emirates is a direct transfer partner of all major credit card rewards programs and a handful of hotel reawrds programs. Here's the list of Emirates transfer partners:

AMEX points to Emirates

American Express Membership Rewards points can be converted into Emirates Skywards miles at a 1:1 ratio. Every 1,000 AMEX points you transfer to your Skywards account will give you 1,000 Emirates miles.

American Express is an excellent partner for Emirates due to the high intro bonuses and multipliers their Membership Rewards credit cards offer.

Capital One miles to Emirates

Capital One miles can be converted into Emirates Skywards miles at a 1:1 ratio. Every 1,000 Venture miles or Spark miles you transfer to your Skywards account will give you 1,000 Emirates miles.

Capital One credit cards earn rewards at a flat-rate across most purchases which makes them a great option if you want to focus your annual spend on one card. Their cards also have no foreign transaction fee and miles earned with their cards can be redeemed for 1 cent in value towards any kind of travel including tolls and parking.

Chase points to Emirates

Chase Ultimate Rewards points can be transferred to Emirates Skywards at a 1:1 ratio. Every 1,000 Chase points you transfer to your account will give you 1,000 Emirates Skywards miles.

The Chase Ultimate Rewards program features a superb lineup of credit cards packed with solid earning rates on dining and travel, top-notch travel insurance, and easy to redeem points that offer bonus value when redeemed for travel through the Chase Travel portal.

Citi points to Emirates

Citi ThankYou points can be converted into Emirates Skywards miles at a 1:1 ratio if you have the Citi Strata Premier Card or Citi Prestige Card. Every 1,000 Citi points you transfer to your account from these cards will give you 1,000 Emirates miles.

The best thing about Citi is that you can pair the Citi Strata Premier (or Prestige if it ever comes available again) with the Citi Double Cash Card and never earn less than the equivalent of 2X points on your purchases. There's no other program that offers such an easy two-card combo for maximizing rewards.

Bilt points to Emirates

Bilt Rewards points can be converted into Emirates Skywards miles at a 1:1 ratio. Every 1,000 Bilt Rewards points you transfer to your account will give you 1,000 Emirates miles.

The Bilt program is most known for the ability to pay rent with no transaction fees — something that you can't do with other programs. If you're want to earn rewards paying rent (which is something you have to pay anyway), I highly suggest considering the program.
