Can you transfer RevPoints to Emirates Skywards?
Emirates publishes a 2:1 RevPoints transfer rate in 31 European markets. However, the United Kingdom is not on Emirates' current eligibility list, and Revolut UK's public airline directory still omits Emirates. UK customers should check their own Revolut app before planning a transfer; this calculator is conditional, not confirmation that your account is eligible.

RevPoints to Skywards Miles calculator
The default uses Emirates' published eligible-market rate: 2 RevPoints = 1 Skywards Mile. UK users must first see Emirates in their own Revolut app and should replace the rate if the live confirmation screen differs.
Published minimum: 2 RevPoints. Emirates does not publish a required increment, so use an amount accepted by your app. One million RevPoints would produce the standard-plan annual maximum of 500,000 Miles at 2:1.
A result does not establish UK eligibility. Your app's provider list, ratio and final transfer total prevail.
Estimate at Emirates' published 2 RevPoints = 1 Skywards Mile rate. Check UK availability and the final total in Revolut.
The sterling range uses two July 2026 external mile valuations and the Bank of England's 6 August 2026 spot rate. It is not cash value and excludes award pricing and charges.

What is confirmed—and what is not
The rate mechanics are official. UK availability is not. Keeping those two questions separate prevents a published international partnership from becoming an unsupported UK claim.
Confirmed by Emirates
For eligible accounts, Emirates publishes 2 RevPoints = 1 Skywards Mile, a minimum conversion of 2 RevPoints, a maximum of 500,000 Skywards Miles per calendar year, and credit within one business day. The annual cap does not apply to Ultra, Metal or Private plan holders. Supplementary cardholders cannot request conversions.
Still conditional for the UK
Emirates' country list omits the UK, while Revolut UK's public airline directory still omits Emirates. Only the provider list and confirmation screen in your own app can show whether your UK account is eligible now.
What could a RevPoint be worth at 2:1?
Skywards Miles have no fixed cash value. Two independent US points sites publish current planning estimates; halving each per-mile estimate gives the implied value of one RevPoint at a 2:1 transfer. We converted the range using the Bank of England's 6 August 2026 spot rate of $1.3466 per £1.
| Independent estimate | Value per Skywards Mile | Implied value per RevPoint at 2:1 |
|---|---|---|
| NerdWallet, updated July 2026 | 1.0 US cent | 0.50 US cents / about 0.37p |
| Upgraded Points, July 2026 | 1.1 US cents | 0.55 US cents / about 0.41p |
When can this beat a 1:1 airline transfer?
A 2:1 transfer gives you half as many airline units as a 1:1 transfer. It only wins if your chosen Skywards redemption produces more than twice the value per mile after every tax, fee and carrier-imposed charge. Price the exact itinerary in cash and Miles before moving anything.
Emirates says Classic Reward tickets still carry carrier-imposed charges plus airport and government taxes. Taxes are always paid in cash; carrier-imposed charges may be payable in cash or Miles on eligible Emirates rewards.

How to transfer RevPoints to Emirates Skywards
These are the published eligible-market mechanics. UK users should only continue if Emirates is visible in their own Revolut app.
Check Emirates appears in RevPoints
Open RevPoints in Revolut and choose Airline Miles. Search for Emirates Skywards. If it is absent, stop: the official UK directory does not currently confirm availability.
Open your individual Skywards account
Use an Emirates Skywards account in your own name. Skysurfers, My Family and Business Rewards accounts are not eligible for this financial-partner conversion.
Confirm the live 2:1 quote
Check the app still shows 2 RevPoints = 1 Skywards Mile, the minimum is 2 RevPoints, and the final number of Miles matches your calculation.
Price the reward before transferring
Find your exact flight, upgrade or Cash+Miles option first. Compare cash and Miles, then include every carrier-imposed charge, airport tax and government tax.
Enter your membership number and amount
Make sure the account-holder name and Skywards membership number match. Stay within the published annual cap unless your confirmed plan waiver applies.
Confirm once and keep the receipt
Review the destination, ratio and final total, then confirm only when everything is correct. Emirates says Miles should be credited within one business day; the conversion is final.

Emirates publishes 2 RevPoints = 1 Skywards Mile for eligible accounts. Both availability and rates can change, so the live quote in your Revolut app takes priority.

Is a 2:1 Emirates transfer good value?
Not automatically.

Compare the exact cash saving after charges with a 1:1 airline option before transferring.
