These are the flights and upgrades that you can book using your Business Rewards Points. ‘Dynamic’ refers to the flexibility of being able to redeem Points for most Emirates flights, in all travel classes and on all fare types. The number of Points you need for a flight will depend on seat availability and the fare on that day. The number of Points you need for an upgrade will depend on seat availability and the fare difference between the two classes.
Emirates Business Rewards is our corporate loyalty programme, open to organisations of all sizes around the world. Your organisation will earn Business Rewards Points whenever your employees or guest travellers fly on Emirates, which you can then spend on Dynamic Reward Flights and Upgrades. Individuals also earn Skywards Miles on the same flight if they’re an Emirates Skywards member. There’s no limit on how many employees can join the programme and no minimum spend is needed.
Emirates Business Rewards is open to any organisation, but it’s designed to offer benefits to small and medium sized organisations that don’t have a corporate travel agreement with Emirates.
If your organization's travel volumes qualify for a corporate travel agreement, we offer a range of commercial products to meet your needs, specifically designed to cater to your travel requirements. Therefore, if your organization already has a corporate travel agreement with Emirates, it won't be eligible to join the Emirates Business Rewards Programme.
Yes, you can register your organisation under two different names as long as you have a different trade licence number for each.

Your trade licence is a legal document that gives you the right to operate a business in your city or country. We need a copy for our records to show that your business has been legally approved by your local government.
