Strictly speaking, selling Emirates Skywards miles is a violation of the airline's terms and conditions. Emirates explicitly prohibits the "purchase, sale, or barter" of miles through third-party brokers or unofficial marketplaces. If the airline detects that miles have been sold—often identified by large transfers to unrelated accounts or suspicious booking patterns—they reserve the right to confiscate the miles, cancel any associated tickets, and permanently close the Skywards account. However, Emirates does provide official, legal ways to move miles. You can transfer miles to another member's account via the official website for a fee (typically $15 per 1,000 miles), and you can "gift" miles by purchasing them directly for someone else. While "mileage brokers" often operate in the shadows, the risk of losing your entire balance and being blacklisted by the airline makes selling your miles a highly dangerous and unadvised practice in 2026.
