A UAE traveller saved Dhs 70,000 on a luxury Maldives hotel stay worth Dhs 120,000 by using 70,000 dnata Points. The traveller only needed to pay Dhs 50,000 with their Emirates NBD dnata World credit card, and also earned an additional Dhs 7,500 in dnata Points for future travel. This highlights the great value the dnata Points programme offers to customers.
Dhs 17 million dnata Points
In 2024, over 10,000 travellers saved a total of Dhs 17 million using dnata Points, adding to the Dhs 209 million already redeemed since the program started nearly 20 years ago.
Looking ahead, the programme is introducing even more benefits for cardholders in 2025. Customers can now enjoy 0% interest instalment plans on dnata Travel purchases and even cover up to 12 months of school fees for many schools in the UAE. Other perks include “buy one, get one free” cinema tickets, 20% off food and drinks at Reel Cinemas, and access to over 1,000 airport lounges worldwide.
Travellers can redeem their dnata Points for flights, hotels, and holiday packages easily through dnataTravel.com or at any of dnata Travel’s 13 stores in the UAE. With hotel rates starting from just Dhs 205 or 205 dnata Points per person, the programme makes it easier for travellers to save while booking their next trip.
