Rewards PotentialTo determine the rewards potential of the Emirates Skywards Rewards card, Forbes Advisor uses data from various government agencies in order to determine both baseline income and spending averages across various categories. Assuming 50% of such expenses are charged to this card, total annual card spending in our sample household would be $26,410. If someone who holds this card is doing their airline spending with Emirates, earnings would work out to 10,530 Skywards miles. According to the Emirates calculator, a round-trip economy class saver ticket from New York to Dubai will cost 72,500 Skywards Miles to score the flight for free. If you’re based in the U.S., it’s more likely that you would benefit from using your Emirates Skywards miles with partners Alaska Airlines and JetBlue.
