Emirates credit card promotion: how the offers usually work

An Emirates credit card promotion is usually a discount or fare offer tied to a card network, a bank or a Skywards tier, valid for set booking and travel dates. According to Emirates' Singapore special offers page, you can browse current offers there or log in to Emirates Skywards to see all the offers available for your tier, and Emirates adds new offers regularly.

What to check on any card offer:

• Which cards qualify, and whether the offer is for a card network or one bank.
• Which fares and cabins, since discounts usually apply to the fare rather than taxes and carrier charges.
• Booking and travel dates, which are often different windows.
• Where to book, usually emirates.com for Singapore.

Two Emirates booking tools also help you save without a code. According to Emirates, Hold My Fare lets you reserve an Economy Class fare for 24 hours for free, and the Best Price Guarantee refunds the difference if you find the same flight at least USD 20 cheaper on another website, provided you claim by midnight on the day you booked.

American Express cards earning Membership Rewards	Points you can convert to Skywards Miles, according to Emirates' partner page	Check Amex's own conversion ratio
Revolut	RevPoints convert at 2 to 1 Skywards Mile, according to Emirates	A card account rather than a bank credit card

On a S$2,000 fare paid in Singapore dollars, Citi PremierMiles' local rate works out to 2,400 Citi Miles. Paying in another currency may earn the foreign currency rate, but your bank may also charge a foreign currency fee, so check before you choose.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. Skywards Miles are for a future flight; ShopBack lowers the price of this one.

How it works on a fare. You go through ShopBack, then book and pay for an Emirates fare on the Emirates website. Part of the fare portion comes back as Cashback once your travel is completed. If you pay with Cash+Miles, only the cash part counts. Check the live rate on the Emirates page on ShopBack before you book.
