1. Open the ShopBack app or website and go to the ShopBack Emirates page.
2. Tap through to Emirates.
3. Log in to Skywards if you want bonus Miles offers, search your dates and book on Emirates.
4. The booking tracks to your ShopBack account, and you can check its status in the app.

Your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns.
