City Centre Sharjah and City Centre Ajman have expanded their successful collaboration with Air Arabia this year by launching an exclusive rewards programme with a range of exciting benefits for regular shoppers.

The three-month long initiative will allow frequent shoppers at the mall to collect Air Rewards points on every spend of AED 5 until July 31. A grocery haul of just AED 75 at Carrefour can get customers a hot meal on their next flight with Air Arabia or points collected from the purchase of an AED 450 summery outfit for their next vacation can go towards free baggage allowance or a seat upgrade with the airline. Shoppers also have the benefit of using their Air Rewards points at any time even after the campaign has ended.

“Our four-year fruitful partnership with Air Arabia has evolved into a more rewarding loyalty programme for customers this year. For the first time, Majid Al Futtaim shopping malls have introduced a long-term spend and win points system that will benefit regular customers visiting City Centre Ajman and City Centre Sharjah,” said Fuad Mansoor Sharaf, Managing Director for Majid Al Futtaim Properties, Shopping Malls (UAE, Bahrain & Oman).

“Air Arabia is the preferred carrier for more than 90 per cent of our shoppers and we want them to enjoy the different services the airline offers for free with this generous rewards programme.

The more they shop their favourite brands at our malls, the more chances they get to avail free add-ons and travel with Air Arabia.”

Shoppers can register for the Air Rewards programme at City Centre Ajman and City Centre Sharjah when they make their first purchase during the campaign. The malls will reward customers with 1 Air Rewards point for every AED 5 spent at any of the stores and dining outlets. Points can be exchanged at any time for Air Arabia products and services, including air tickets, baggage allowance and meals. One shopper will also be selected through a draw to win the grand prize of 1,000,000 Air Rewards points. That’s AED 36,732 ($10,000) to spend on airline tickets for an unlimited period.

Air Arabia flies to more than 70 destinations around the world directly from Sharjah and is considered as the main national low-cost carrier in the emirate of Sharjah and Ajman. The airline launched its Air Rewards in 2015, the first and only cashback airline loyalty programme of its kind in the region. The programme boasts more than 500,000 members who can also pool points from family members to purchase tickets and services. They can also use their points to buy tickets for friends and family.
