Emirates has launched a new Skywards miles sale with up to a 35% discount for purchases made through March 23, 2022.
Skywards members can buy miles at up to a 35% discount based on the email I received. However, there can be various targeted offers.
You can access this offer on the Emirates website here.
Note that base and Silver members can buy 100,000 and Gold/Platinum 200,000 Skywards miles in a calendar year. Only members that have had any previous activity on their Skywards accounts can purchase miles.
Here’s the price at 35% discount:
The cost of a mile under this offer is 1,95 US cents each.
You can check the number of miles required for any city pair using this calculator (access here).
Conclusion
During previous sales, Emirates has sold Skywards miles up to a 100% bonus that will inevitably return. I would not buy miles at this price unless I had a good use for right now.
Here are the terms and conditions of this sale:
