Dubai-based Emirates airline and Starwood Hotels & Resorts will launch a new programme, Your World Rewards, which allows their loyalty programme members, who register for the rewards package, to receive exclusive rewards of each loyalty programme.

Starting from November 19, Emirates Skywards Gold and Platinum members will have the opportunity to upgrade their hotel experience, receiving benefits including access to Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) elite check-in, 4:00 pm late check-out and complimentary in-room internet access. In turn, all SPG Platinum members will enjoy some of the advantages of Emirates Skywards elite like priority check-in and priority boarding when flying Emirates. Members will also receive complimentary e-gate access for flights in and out of Dubai.

Members will also earn bonus Starpoints when they fly with Emirates and bonus miles when they stay with SPG on top of their usual earnings. Elite SPG members will earn one Starpoint per dollar, in addition to Skywards Miles, for all eligible Emirates operated flights. And all Emirates Skywards Silver, Gold and Platinum members will earn the equivalent of one Mile per dollar, on top of Starpoints, for all eligible stays at Starwood hotels and resorts worldwide.

“The combination of Emirates’ growing global network, Starwood's innovative take on hospitality and our top-rated loyalty programmes allow us to recognise our most valuable customers with a heightened level of service and greater rewards wherever they travel – be it to one of our more than 140 destinations or at any of Starwood’s 1,200 hotels," said Thierry Antinori, executive vice president and chief commercial officer of Emirates airline. - TradeArabia News Service
