✈️ Amex UK Just Made Emirates Awards 33% More Expensive (Act Before February)

American Express UK has announced a devastating devaluation to Emirates Skywards transfers, dropping from 4:3 to 2:1 in February 2026—a 33% reduction that makes Emirates Business Class awards cost double what they did in 2024. We break down the timeline of Emirates devaluations, calculate real-world impacts on award pricing, and explain why transferring speculatively might backfire due to Skywards' strict 3-year expiration policy. Plus, we reveal which Membership Rewards transfer partners still offer 1:1 rates and better value than Emirates for UK travellers.
