What Is Emirates Business Rewards?

8 July 2025 | Travel News

When it comes to corporate travel, every flight is more than just a seat, it’s a chance to earn, save, and streamline how your business moves. If you’re flying with Emirates, their loyalty programme for companies, Emirates Business Rewards, offers a simple yet powerful way to get more from your travel spend.

Whether you’re a growing startup or an international team, this free-to-join scheme helps you earn points on every flight your employees or guest travellers take. These points can then be used for reward flights or upgrades, giving your business greater value, flexibility, and control.

So What is Emirates Business Rewards?

Emirates Business Rewards is a free-to-join corporate loyalty scheme available to businesses of all sizes. There’s no minimum spend, no complicated thresholds, just a simple way to earn points every time your employees or guest travellers fly with Emirates.

Once enrolled, your company earns Business Rewards Points every time an employee or guest travels with Emirates, no matter the class or fare type. Meanwhile, your travellers continue earning personal Skywards Miles on the same flights, making it a win-win for both the business and the individual.

This is the perfect solution for SMEs and scaling companies looking to extract more value from their regular international travel, especially on popular routes to Dubai, Asia, Australia and the US.

Flexible Rewards That Work for Real-World Business Travel

The points your company earns through Emirates Business Rewards can be spent on:

Reward flights for employees or guests
Seat upgrades to Business or First Class

The number of points required is dynamic, based on seat availability and fare type on the day you book, giving your team the freedom to choose when and how to redeem, depending on your travel plans and budget.

It’s ideal for fast-moving businesses who need flexibility without losing control of cost.

Smarter Business Travel Management

Enrolling in Emirates Business Rewards also gives your team access to useful tools and reporting features that support smart travel management:

Track points earned and used across your organisation
Monitor key routes and identify top destinations
Analyse spending patterns and travel trends

This is particularly useful for finance or ops teams who need greater visibility across departments, and it integrates seamlessly with your business travel services via echo.bravo.

How Long Do Business Rewards Points Last?

Points earned through Emirates Business Rewards are valid for two years from the month of travel completion. For example, if you flew on 10 September 2024, your points would remain valid until 30 September 2026, giving you plenty of time to use them on future business trips.

How to Sign Up and Start Booking

Getting started is simple. Sign up online via the Emirates Business Rewards website. Once your account is approved, your team’s designated Programme Administrator can begin making bookings through:

The Emirates Business Rewards portal
Emirates contact centres or ticket offices
Your preferred travel management partner — like echo.bravo 😉

Just make sure to include your Business Rewards membership number when booking, so your organisation’s points are credited automatically.

Can My Business Have More Than One Account?

Yes. If your company operates under different trade licences or legal entities, you can register multiple Emirates Business Rewards accounts. Just note: points cannot be transferred or merged between accounts, and rewards will only be credited to the membership number quoted at booking.

Why It’s Worth Joining — Even If You Already Use Skywards

If your travellers are already part of Emirates Skywards, Emirates Business Rewards doesn’t replace it — it complements it. Employees still collect their own Skywards Miles personally, while the business earns Rewards Points separately. This dual structure is what makes the programme so efficient and popular among savvy travel managers and finance leads.

FAQs About Emirates Business Rewards

Do employees still earn personal Skywards Miles?

Yes! Business Rewards Points go to the company account, while your travellers still earn their individual Skywards Miles as usual. Everyone wins.

What can Business Rewards Points be used for?

You can redeem them for reward flights (in any class) or upgrades to Business or First Class, depending on availability and the fare you’ve booked.

Is there a minimum number of employees needed to join?

Nope. Whether you have 2 travellers or 200, as long as you’re a registered company, you can sign up and start earning points right away.

Can points be transferred between company accounts?

Points are tied to the specific Business Rewards account and can’t be merged or transferred between different businesses or branches.

Do I need to book directly with Emirates?

No, you can book through Emirates, or through an approved agent like echo.bravo, and still earn points as long as your membership number is added to the booking.
