Marriott Bonvoy and Emirates Skywards Partnership
The Marriott Bonvoy and Emirates Skywards partnership, established initially in 2014 and relaunched in 2019, offers unique benefits to members of both loyalty programs. Through the Your World Rewards program, participants can earn additional rewards and enjoy exclusive privileges when staying at Marriott hotels or flying with Emirates.

To take advantage of the Your World Rewards program, members must be active members of the Marriott Bonvoy and Emirates Skywards programs.

Earning Skywards Miles and Marriott Bonvoy Points
Hotel Stays
Members of Emirates Skywards who hold Silver, Gold, or Platinum status can earn one Skywards Mile for every U.S. dollar (or equivalent) spent on qualifying stays at Marriott Bonvoy participating properties.
This is in addition to earning Marriott Bonvoy Points as per the program’s standard earning rates. However, Skywards Miles can only be earned on room rates and not on additional charges like food, beverages, or other hotel services.
Flights with Emirates
Marriott Bonvoy members with Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, Titanium Elite, or Ambassador Elite status can earn three Marriott Bonvoy Points for every U.S. dollar spent on eligible fares with Emirates. This is in addition to the Skywards Miles earned under the Emirates Skywards program. Eligible flights must be operated and marketed by Emirates and carry an EK code.
Elite Status Benefits
The Your World Rewards program also offers additional elite benefits to members when they stay at Marriott hotels or fly with Emirates.
Hotel Benefits for Emirates Skywards Members
Emirates Skywards Gold and Platinum members can enjoy benefits at Marriott Bonvoy participating properties, such as:
- Elite Check-in: Access to the dedicated check-in line used by Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite and Platinum Elite members.
- Late Checkout: 4 p.m. late checkout, subject to availability.
- Complimentary Enhanced Internet: Access to faster in-room internet service.
These benefits add convenience and comfort for frequent flyers who stay at Marriott properties during their travels.
Flight Benefits for Marriott Bonvoy Elite Members
Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite, Titanium Elite, and Ambassador Elite members receive special privileges when flying with Emirates, including:
- Priority Check-In: Use of priority check-in counters.
- Priority Boarding: Priority boarding access on Emirates flights.
These perks are designed to enhance the travel experience, making airport procedures smoother and more efficient.
Important Terms and Conditions
- Participants must enroll in the Your World Rewards program at least 48 hours before checking out of a Marriott hotel or taking an eligible Emirates flight to earn the respective points or miles.
- Marriott Bonvoy Points earned from Emirates flights are typically posted to the member’s account within 4 to 6 weeks after the flight. Skywards Miles earned from Marriott stays usually post within 2 to 4 weeks after the points from the stay are credited.
- Members cannot earn incremental benefits beyond what is offered by their existing status in either program. For example, Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite members who are also Emirates Skywards Gold members will not receive additional benefits beyond those specified.
- Certain booking types, such as reward stays or flights booked through third-party sites, are not eligible for earning points or miles through Your World Rewards.
