Emirates Skywards members in the UAE now earn a mile for every AED 3 spent on Yango rides
Link a card in the Skywards Everyday app and pay for Yango rides with it in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah or Ajman. The miles stack with Yango's cashback.
Emirates Skywards members in the UAE can now earn miles on Yango rides. Yango Ride, a ride-hailing service, has partnered with Skywards Everyday, the lifestyle rewards app for Emirates Skywards, the loyalty program shared by Emirates and flydubai. Members earn 1 Skywards Mile for every 3 dirhams (AED 3) spent on eligible rides in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman. That is on top of Yango's existing cashback.
The details below come from Yango's press release on Zawya. Yango also promoted the offer on X on Nov. 7, 2026.
How to start earning#
The setup is a card link, not an account link inside Yango. According to the release:
- Download the Skywards Everyday app.
- Log in with your Emirates Skywards details.
- Save a payment card in the app.
- Pay for Yango rides with that same card.
Miles are then credited to your Emirates Skywards account. Skywards Everyday lets members link up to five eligible Visa or Mastercard credit or debit cards to earn miles automatically at participating outlets.
What the earning rate means#
| Ride spend | Skywards Miles earned |
|---|---|
| AED 30 | 10 |
| AED 150 | 50 |
| AED 300 | 100 |
| AED 3,000 | 1,000 |
Those numbers follow directly from the stated rate of 1 mile per AED 3. The release does not say whether there is a cap, which rides count as eligible, or how long miles take to post. Check the Skywards Everyday app for the full terms.
This is a modest earning rate, so it will not fund an award flight on its own. Its value is that it stacks. Your card can still earn its own rewards on the same ride, and Yango's cashback still applies. For UAE residents who take rides often, the miles add up over a year with no extra effort once the card is linked.
What Skywards Everyday does#
Skywards Everyday is Emirates Skywards' app for earning and spending miles on daily life in the UAE. The release says it covers hundreds of partners in shopping, dining, groceries, pharmacy, beauty and wellness, leisure, entertainment and services. Members can also turn Skywards Miles into cashback on eligible purchases and exchange miles with participating loyalty programs.
Yango is the latest in a run of Emirates Skywards earning offers. Last week, Points Frog covered Emirates Skywards' winter bonus miles on hotels and car rentals, including 25% more miles on ALL Accor conversions.
What Yango said#
Islam Abdul Karim, regional head of Yango Group Middle East, said in the release: "This partnership connects two parts of people's lives — how they move around the city and how they earn and redeem Skywards Miles through everyday activities."
Yango Ride is part of Yango Group, a tech company based in the UAE. The release says Yango Ride operates in more than 25 countries, but this Skywards offer covers the UAE only.
Who should sign up#
If you live in or often visit Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah or Ajman and already collect Skywards Miles, linking a card takes a few minutes and costs nothing. Make sure you pay for Yango with the exact card you saved in Skywards Everyday. A different card, or a cash ride, will not earn miles.
If you only visit the UAE now and then, the miles from a few rides will be small.
