  • Listed Items are for use by the Member only and cannot be used for commercial or promotional purposes. Members may not sell or transfer or give away in any circumstances or manner whatsoever the Listed Item allocated to the members under the Redemption, even if they are unable to attend or use the Listed Item. Listed Items are non-exchangeable and non-transferrable and there is no cash alternative.
  • Except where otherwise required by law, Miles Redemptions are non-refundable, cancellable or transferable.
  • The Listed Items include nothing other than that expressly stated to be included as part of the item description. Flights, accommodation, visa requirements and any other incidental expenses are not included.
  • The winning bidder or Buy Now Member must comply with all terms and conditions applicable to the relevant Listed Item.
  • All Listed Items made available through this Site are being sold "AS IS" without warranties of any kind, express, implied or statutory, unless expressly stated in the item description.
  • Emirates reserves the right to modify or vary the Listed Item and/or these terms at any time. Listed item details and pricing are subject to change or cancellation without notice. Other restrictions may apply. Emirates reserves the right to substitute items of equal or greater value. Emirates also reserves the right to reverse a purchase of a Listed Item without notice and to credit the Skywards Miles used for such purchase back to the Member’s account.
  • Emirates will not be liable to perform any of its obligations under these Terms where it is unable to do so as a result of circumstances beyond its reasonable control including but not limited to, weather conditions, fire, flood, hurricane, strike, industrial dispute, war, hostilities, political unrest, riots or any other circumstances amounting to force majeure.
  • By participating in a List Item Redemption via this Site, you confirm that you are not breaching any laws in your country of residence regarding the legality of participating in such Redemption. Emirates Skywards, its affiliates and the Listed Item provider will not be held responsible if you enter into a Redemption unlawfully. If in any doubt you should check with the relevant authorities in your country of residence.

BUY NOW

  • If you have completed a Buy Now purchase, the number of Miles equal to the Buy Now purchase price will be deducted automatically from your Emirates Skywards account. You will be notified of your successful Redemption and next steps via email.
  • Listed Items offered for Buy Now instant Redemption are limited in quantity, and are subject to availability.
  • Some Listed Items that are not currently available may offer a waitlist option. Members on the waitlist will be ranked chronologically in order based upon the time of such Member’s waitlist request. Such times will be determined solely by Emirates Skywards. Should availability arise, waitlisted Members will be contacted via email requiring the Member to confirm interest in buying the applicable Listed Item and to complete such Redemption within a limited amount of time. If such purchase is not completed within the required time, the Member will forfeit the opportunity to purchase the Listed Item, and it will be offered to the next Member on the waitlist. Waitlisted Members are not guaranteed the ability to purchase any Listed Item.

AUCTION

  • Once a Bid is submitted it cannot be withdrawn or lowered; all Bids are final.
  • If a Bid is placed during the last sixty seconds of any Auction, the scheduled closing time thereof will be automatically extended for an additional sixty seconds from the time of the last bid. This process will repeat as many times as necessary. The Auction bidding process will close once all activity has stopped for a period of sixty seconds.
  • The final Bid will be determined by Emirates Skywards or its designee in its sole discretion based upon the highest Bid received prior to the final closing time of such Auction. Emirates Skywards reserves the right to declare the final bidder or cancel the Auction if unusual circumstances occur.
  • In the event that two Members each Bid an equal number of Skywards Miles for the same package, and no other Member has entered a higher bid, the Bid submitted first in time will be considered the winning Bid.
  • In the event that no Bids have been submitted in an Auction at the scheduled time of closing, Emirates Skywards reserves the right to either cancel the Listed Item or to re-launch the Auction with a new close date/time and to adjust the opening Bid from the initial Auction.
  • Emirates Skywards and its affiliates are not responsible for lost, interrupted or unavailable network server or other connections, miscommunications, computer or technical failure, or incorrect or inaccurate bidding information howsoever caused or other error of any kind whether human, mechanical or electronic. All Bids are final regardless of technical difficulties posed by any technical error, whether human, mechanical or electronic.
  • If you are the winning bidder for an Auction, upon Auction close, the number of Skywards Miles equal to the amount of your winning Bid will be deducted automatically from your Emirates Skywards account. You will receive notification of your winning Bid, the Miles debit from your account and next steps via email.
  • For Auctions where you can place a maximum Bid, the system will place bidding iterations on your behalf until your maximum Bid is reached. If you have placed a maximum Bid (higher than the required minimum Bid), the system will automatically increase the Bid on your behalf, using only as much of your maximum Bid as is required to keep you in the winning position. The maximum Bid is the highest price in Skywards Miles you are willing to pay for the Listed Item. If at the conclusion of the Auction not all of your maximum Bid was necessary to win the Auction, your final Bid will only be the amount of Skywards Miles necessary to be the highest bidder and this amount will be automatically debited from your Emirates Skywards account.
  • Multiple quantities of the same Listed Item may be available in the same Auction, however you may only Bid for one item in a given Auction.
  • In a multi-winner auction, the winning bidders will pay the lowest of the winning bid amounts. For example, if there are two identical packages listed in a single auction and the final highest two bids are 10,000 Skywards Miles and 12,000 Skywards Miles then both winners will only pay 10,000 Skywards Miles.
  • In the event that a winning bidder is disqualified because he/she did not have sufficient Skywards Miles in his/her account at the time of auction close or a successful bidder is disqualified from the auction due to fraudulent activity, Emirates Skywards reserves the right to proceed with any of the following options, in its sole discretion:
    1. Contact the winning bidder via email, inform the bidder that he/she exceeded the mileage balance in his/her account, and allow the individual 24 hours to purchase or transfer additional Miles to sufficiently cover the winning bid amount. The individual will be advised that future occurrences may result in permanent suspension from participating in listed items on this Site.
    2. Contact the next-highest bidder via email and offer the experience for their highest bid or a comparable amount determined solely by Emirates Skywards, with a deadline to respond. If response deadline is not met, the process will be repeated with the next-highest bidder in line.
    3. Contact all non-winning bidders of an auction via email and offer the experience for a pre-determined amount based on first-come, first-serve basis for whoever is first to respond with their acceptance.
    4. Re-launch the auction with a new close date/time and to adjust the opening bid from the initial auction.
    5. Cancel the experience entirely.
