Rare membership numbers with Platinum status for up to 20 years offered in global charity auction benefiting the Emirates Airline Foundation

The Emirates Airline Foundation has partnered with Emirates Auction to launch a global online charity auction featuring rare Emirates Skywards membership numbers that include Platinum tier benefits valid for up to 20 years. The auction runs from 17 December 2025 to 17 January 2026 and is open to bidders worldwide.

Exclusive benefits with a charitable purpose

All proceeds from the auction will go directly to the Emirates Airline Foundation, supporting projects for vulnerable children through 14 NGOs in nine countries. These initiatives focus on areas such as housing, education, healthcare, nutrition and vocational training, ensuring long-term, community-based impact.

Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline and Chairman of the Foundation, said the auction offers an innovative way to engage new supporters globally while scaling the Foundation’s humanitarian reach. He emphasised that every bid represents not just elite Skywards status, but a tangible contribution to improving children’s lives.

Seven rare membership numbers available

Bidders can compete for seven distinctive Skywards membership numbers, each carrying Platinum tier privileges. Winners will be notified within 24 hours of the auction closing, with membership validity determined by the final bid amount.

Platinum status is the highest tier in the Emirates Skywards programme, typically reserved for the airline’s most frequent flyers. Benefits include First Class check-in, lounge access worldwide for members and guests, priority services, bonus Skywards Miles, and the ability to extend Gold status to a companion.

How to participate

The fully digital auction is hosted on the Emirates Auction platform. Registration is free, and bidding can be completed via the website or mobile app. A refundable security deposit is required to activate bidding privileges.

By combining exclusive travel benefits with philanthropic impact, the initiative aligns with the UAE’s Year of Community 2025 and reinforces Emirates’ commitment to sustainable social development.
