Your membership will terminate immediately on notification of death and your miles forfeited. In addition, where the deceased member is also the Family Head of a ‘My Family’ account, the relevant ‘My Family’ account will also terminate and the miles will be forfeited.
However, Emirates Skywards may, in its sole discretion, reinstate the deceased Member’s available Miles to the credit of his/her legal beneficiaries provided that either the deceased Member’s Skywards account or, if applicable, his/her ‘My Family’ account, held a minimum balance of 2,000 Miles at the time of receipt by Emirates Skywards and that the legal beneficiary claims the Miles in the deceased Account within 6 months of notification of death. Any application submitted by or on behalf of a legal beneficiary for the deceased Member’s accumulated Miles must be accompanied by (i) a copy of the deceased Member’s death certificate; (ii) a copy of the deceased Member’s will or testament, court order, or other satisfactory legal documentation demonstrating the legal beneficiary’s entitlement to the accumulated Miles; and (iii) any other supporting documentation requested by Emirates Skywards.
