The DubaiPoints news desk files its first post today.
Coverage focuses on the four things the publication exists to track:
- Salary-transfer offer movements. Tier additions, bonus changes, and time-windowed promos at the major UAE banks (FAB, Emirates NBD, ADCB, Mashreq, RAKBANK, Emirates Islamic, ADIB and the rest). The live salary-transfer tracker is updated alongside each notable change.
- Card launches and benefit changes. New products, refreshed welcome bonuses, fee changes, perk additions or removals. Reviewed against the issuer’s published Schedule of Charges before anything goes to print.
- Programme changes. Award-chart movements, transfer-partner additions or pauses, expiry-rule revisions on Skywards, Etihad Guest, Qatar Privilege Club, Marriott Bonvoy and the regional hotel currencies.
- Regulatory updates. AECB, Central Bank of the UAE, DLD and DET decisions that affect points-and-miles behaviour for residents — corporate-tax interactions, FX-fee rule changes, Wages Protection System guidance.
The editorial standard is the same as the rest of the site: AED-first on every figure, every claim sourced inline, every figure dated. Expired offers are removed from /deals/ on the day they expire — they do not get archived under “still available” copy. The same applies here: a piece that turns out to be wrong gets a correction notice on the page, not a silent edit.
If you spot a UAE points-and-miles story we have not filed, the tip line is open. We do not pay for tips and we do not run press-release rewrites.
The first scheduled posts ship later this week.
