Skywards Miles can be transferred via the Points Platform from one Eligible Skywards Member to another (“Transfer Miles”) in blocks of 1,000 Miles at a cost of US$15 per 1,000 Miles. The initial minimum purchase required is 2,000 Miles; a member may send and receive a maximum of 50,000 Miles per calendar year.

Yes, you can transfer your Emirates Skywards miles to another member's account, but it is rarely a "free" or high-value move. In 2026, Emirates allows you to transfer miles in multiples of 1,000 (starting at 2,000) for a fee of $15 USD per 1,000 miles. You can transfer up to 50,000 miles per calendar year. Because this fee is quite high, it is often better to simply book a flight for the other person using your miles directly from your own account, which costs $0 in transfer fees. To do this, you just enter their name and details in the "Passenger Information" section during the "Classic Rewards" booking process. Another free option is the "My Family" program, which allows up to 8 family members to pool their future-earned miles into one central account for collective use. If you just need a few thousand more miles to reach a reward, transferring might make sense, but for larger amounts, the "Book for a Friend" strategy is much more economical.
