Earning structure

LAK Rewards	Members earn LAK points on eligible local and international transactions made with SNB AlAhli credit cards, prepaid cards, and the Global Multi-Currency Credit Card. Earn rates vary by card segment (Titanium, Platinum, World, Infinite) - cardholders need to check their card's terms or the SNB Mobile app to find their specific rate. An additional bonus of up to 50% applies on overseas transactions paid in the local currency of the country visited. The Cashback Credit Card and Alfursan Credit Card are excluded from LAK earning, as they have separate reward structures.
nasmiles	Members earn miles by booking flynas flights directly through flynas.com or the flynas app, with the membership number added at booking. Mile earning is calculated by sector and fare class rather than SAR spent - a domestic Value fare earns around 200 miles regardless of the price paid. Prime tier members earn a tier bonus on top of base miles. Additional miles can be earned through partners including Booking.com, Al Rajhi Mokafaa (transfer in), Qitaf, YELO, and akthr. The flynas Signature credit card from Al Rajhi Bank earns miles on everyday spend, with welcome and milestone bonuses up to 60,000 miles. Members who forgot to add their membership number can claim missing miles within 90 days of the flight.

Redemption structure

LAK Rewards	Points redeem through the SNB Mobile app or LakRewards.com, with a minimum threshold of 1,000 points. Redemption options include cashback to the card, transfer to Alfursan miles, flight and hotel bookings via the LAK travel portal, e-gift cards, and partner merchant purchases.
nasmiles	Miles redeem on flynas flights via flynas.com or the app - sign in, select "Book with miles," and search as normal. Minimum redemption is 100 miles, and miles can be combined with cash to cover part of a fare. Miles cover the base fare only - taxes, fees, and surcharges are paid separately. Redemption extends to ancillary services including seat selection, pre-booked baggage, and meals. Redemptions are restricted to flynas-operated flights with the XY flight code; there are no partner airline redemptions. Award bookings cannot be cancelled or refunded once confirmed.
