Valuedynamx Debuts a New Redemption Option for Emirates Skywards

— July 23, 2024 — Business
Valuedynamx, a division of Collinson, has introduced a new redemption option for Emirates Skywards members through the Skywards Miles Mall. This development allows members to use their earned miles for purchases with a broad selection of over 500 global retail brands, including those in the UAE, UK, US, Australia, and India.

The new redemption option for Emirates Skywards is called Pay with Points / Miles. It facilitates the use of Skywards Miles for various everyday items, including fashion, technology, and dining. This expands the redemption possibilities beyond traditional travel rewards, making it easier for members to use their miles for everyday expenses. The integration of this feature aims to enhance the flexibility and attractiveness of the Emirates Skywards loyalty program.

Valuedynamx’s technology, which previously only enabled members to earn miles through purchases, now supports both earning and redeeming miles across an extensive network of retailers.
