Emirates Skywards and Accor's ALL loyalty programme have strengthened their partnership with a new two-way points conversion system, allowing members to exchange rewards across one of the world's largest airline and hospitality networks.

The enhanced collaboration enables Emirates Skywards members to convert 4,000 miles into 1,000 ALL Reward Points, redeemable across Accor's network of over 5,600 hotels and 5,000 experiences. Conversely, ALL members can exchange 4,000 reward points for 2,000 Skywards Miles.

"At Emirates Skywards, we're constantly exploring new ways to help our members maximise the value of every Skywards Mile earned and redeemed," says Dr. Nejib Ben Khedher, divisional senior vice president Emirates Skywards. "Emirates Skywards members can now convert Skywards Miles to ALL Reward Points, and access exceptional hotel stays at more than 45 Accor brands worldwide."

"We are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Emirates Skywards, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to enriching our programme with industry leading partners," adds Mehdi Hemici, chief loyalty and ecommerce officer at Accor.

The collaboration allows members to combine hotel stays with flights across Emirates' network of more than 140 destinations, from Dubai and Paris to the Maldives, Riyadh and Bali.
