Are you travelers and aviation enthusiasts? So, here is some good news as Emirates has announced a rare global opportunity for you. This is a chance to secure Emirates Skywards Platinum membership benefits, which will be valid for up to 20 years, through a limited-time online charity auction.

What’s Being Auctioned
The auction features rare and exclusive Emirates Skywards membership numbers as each is bundled with Platinum tier privileges. This is the highest publicly available status in the Skywards programme.
The seven special membership numbers are available now for bidding:
- 2111111111
- 6000000005
- 6999999996
- 7000000000
- 7000000070
- 7070000000
- 7777777770
The duration of Platinum status is up to 20 years and will depend on the final winning bid amount.
A Charity Auction With Global Impact
Unlike typical loyalty promotions, this auction holds a strong humanitarian focus.
As many as 100% of funds raised through the auction will go directly to the Emirates Airline Foundation, which is supporting 14 NGOs across 9 countries. These organizations work on:
- Housing initiatives for vulnerable children
- Safe spaces for education
- Nutrition and healthcare access
- Skills training and vocational development
Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airlines and Chairman of the Emirates Airline Foundation, has described the auction as an innovative way to enhance the Foundation’s global reach.
“Every bid represents more than a Skywards Platinum membership; it’s a contribution to create pathways to lift children and their families out of poverty and create sustainable impact.”
Abdulla Matar Al Mannaei, Chairman and Managing Director of Emirates Auction, said the partnership is in line with Emirates Auction’s commitment to support sustainable charitable initiatives with lasting impact.
How to Participate in the Auction
The auction process is fully digital and open to bidders worldwide from December 17, 2025, to January 17, 2026.

What Emirates Skywards Platinum Status Offers
Platinum is the top tier of the Emirates Skywards programme, which typically requires 150,000 Tier Miles plus qualifying premium-cabin flights.
Benefits include:
- Access to First and Business Class lounges worldwide, with guest privileges
- Priority First Class check-in and white-glove baggage delivery
- Complimentary Home Check-in service in Dubai
- 100% bonus Skywards Miles on Emirates and flydubai flights
- Ability to gift Gold status to a spouse, partner, or friend
- Tier Miles rollover, discounted upgrades, and complimentary upgrade opportunities
All Platinum members can also enjoy the full suite of Blue, Silver, and Gold benefits.
Why This Auction Stands Out
It was launched in 2000. Emirates and Skywards have turned into one of the world’s leading airline loyalty programmes. It has over 37 million members globally. Opportunities to bypass years of flying and secure long-term Platinum status have been extremely rare.
Coinciding with the UAE’s Year of Community 2025, the auction has combined elite travel privileges with meaningful social impact, which makes it one of the most unique loyalty opportunities Emirates has ever offered.
Disclaimer: Emirates Skywards membership numbers and Platinum tier privileges have rights which are extended to eligible buyers and do not constitute ownership. Benefits have remained subject to Emirates Skywards programme rules and terms, which may be amended or revoked at Emirates’ discretion.
