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 promotions at the UAE banks currently covered. The live salary-transfer tracker is updated when a verified material change is incorporated; it does not represent complete market coverage.
- Card launches and benefit changes. New products, refreshed welcome bonuses, fee changes, perk additions or removals. Reviewed against applicable issuer product pages, Key Facts Statements, terms or fee schedules before publication.
- 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 for monetary comparisons, with source denominations retained where conversion is unsupported. Material claims link to dated sources where available. Expired offers are removed from /deals/ when their stated end date passes — they do not remain 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.
New posts publish only when the source basis and effective date are clear.
