Good to know
Plus Points earned on Emirates NBD's own (non-co-brand) cards. ENBD's Skywards and Etihad Guest co-brand cards earn miles directly and are not covered here. 1 Plus Point = AED 1 for travel, dining, Apple products and other redemptions through the Rewards Hub. That makes transfers poor value: 7 Skywards Miles per AED 1 of points is about 14 fils/mile, against common valuations of about 2-3 fils. Use transfers only for a specific high-value award. Frequent-flyer conversions (Skywards, Etihad) need at least 500 Plus Points, and Etihad conversions can only be done by phone banking. Other partners are transferred in the Rewards Hub and credited within 7 working days. Etihad's own page confirms 1 Plus Point = 10 Etihad Guest Miles. Plus Points do not expire while you hold an active ENBD card. No fees or caps are published.
