Earning structure

Mukafaat Albilad	Members earn Mukafaat Albilad points on every purchase, with rates varying significantly by card type.

Uniquely among Saudi banks, points are earned on SADAD bill payments, government payment websites, Saudi Electric and National Water websites (not via SADAD), and fuel stations.
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.
