Emirates NBD Rewards Hub launches in ENBD X app with Apple Store and travel booking

Emirates NBD has launched Rewards Hub within its ENBD X app, allowing customers to book travel, shop for Apple products, and access lifestyle experiences in one place. According to Emirates NBD's announcement, the new feature transforms the banking app into a rewards marketplace with 15% launch discounts and weekly AED 10,000 prizes.

What can you do with Rewards Hub?

The Rewards Hub integrates multiple services directly into your banking interface. You can book flights and hotels, purchase Apple products through an integrated store, buy digital gift cards, and access curated dining and entertainment experiences across the UAE.

The hub also enables instant Plus Points transfers to airline miles and partner rewards, eliminating the typical waiting periods. Affiliate cashback shopping lets you earn money back from participating merchants without switching apps.

"Rewards Hub is designed to bring rewards, travel, shopping, gifting and lifestyle experiences into one place inside ENBD X," said Rohit Garg, Group Head of Retail Products and Chief Digital Officer at Emirates NBD.

How does the launch promotion work?

Emirates NBD offers up to 15% off Apple Store products, flights, hotels, and local experiences during the first month. The discount applies automatically when booking through the Rewards Hub.

Additionally, customers can enter weekly draws to win AED 10,000 for 12 consecutive weeks. Each transaction through the hub provides entry into the weekly prize draw, running until early August 2024.

What this means for UAE banking

This expansion represents Emirates NBD's strategy to compete with emerging digital wallet solutions in the UAE market. Rather than focusing purely on financial services, the bank is positioning ENBD X as a lifestyle platform.

The move follows similar expansions by competitors, with ADCB launching AI-powered features and new entrants offering comprehensive digital payment solutions. Emirates NBD's partnership with Vernost Marketing Technology Solutions enables the technical infrastructure for this lifestyle integration.

For consumers, this means fewer apps needed for everyday transactions — from paying bills to booking weekend getaways, all accessible through their existing banking interface.

Availability and requirements

Rewards Hub is available now for all Emirates NBD customers using the ENBD X mobile app. The service requires an active Emirates NBD account and the latest version of ENBD X.

The 15% launch discount runs for one month from activation, while the AED 10,000 weekly prize draws continue for 12 weeks. No additional fees apply for using Rewards Hub features beyond standard transaction charges from merchants.
