Accor and Emirates have a long-standing partnership that allows Accor Live Limitless (ALL) members to convert points to Skywards miles. Now, members can also convert Skywards miles into ALL Rewards points. Here are the details of the Accor and Emirates partnership and the steps you need to take to make two-way transfers.

An Overview of the Accor and Emirates Partnership

Emirates is one of more than a dozen airlines that Accor partners with. These partnerships allow ALL members to convert their points into airline miles, sometimes with a nice bonus. Some of these partnerships, such as with Flying Blue, Qantas, Qatar, and, most recently, Azul, allow members to double dip on flights and stays.

Until now, Emirates has not been one of these partnerships. However, the ability to transfer points between accounts just got better.

On February 6, 2025, Emirates announced an enhanced partnership with Accor. With the upgrade, members can now transfer Skywards miles to ALL points, adding to the longstanding option of transferring ALL points to Skywards miles. Unfortunately, the Accor and Emirates partnership still doesn't allow members to truly double-dip on flights and hotel stays.

Unlike the partnerships that offer double dipping, Accor members do not need to link their account with Emirates (or any other airline) to transfer points to miles or miles to points. The only limitation is transferring the minimum number of points or miles.

How To Convert Points Between Accor ALL and Emirates Skywards

Since the Accor and Emirates partnership started, ALL members could convert ALL points to Skywards miles at the rate of 4,000 points to 2,000 miles. Now, the transfer works in both directions. Skywards members will receive 1,000 ALL points for every 4,000 Skywards miles they convert.

The following rates apply:

Recent AwardWallet redemptions peg Skywards miles at 1.55¢ each. On the other hand, ALL points have a fixed value of €0.02 each, which currently converts to about 2.1¢ each. Accor does not have an award chart. Instead, every 2,000 points that members apply toward their stay takes €40 off the cost of a stay.

So, transferring 4,000 Skywards miles — worth approximately $62 — gives $21 worth of ALL points. Thus, this option should only be used if you need to top off your ALL points balance for an upcoming stay.

Our Take

The best Accor partnerships are those that offer double-dipping, along with two-way point transfers. As of this time, Accor ALL members do not earn points on Emirates flights or vice versa.

However, the enhanced partnership between Accor and Emirates helps to encourage Skywards members to stay at Accor properties and for ALL members to book more Emirates flights. However, before transferring your rewards between accounts, make sure you are getting the best value out of your points or miles.
