Earning structure

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.
Shukran	Members earn Shukrans on every purchase at Landmark Group brands and partners across the GCC, Jordan, and Egypt. The earn rate is tier-based: Classic members earn 17 Shukrans per 100 SAR, Silver 18, Gold 19, and Platinum 21 - equivalent to roughly 0.85% to 1.05% back.

Redemption structure

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.
Shukran	Shukrans redeem at a fixed rate of 200 Shukrans = 10 SAR (1 Shukran = 0.05 SAR) at any participating Landmark Group brand or partner outlet across the GCC, Jordan, and Egypt - both in-store and online. Minimum redemption threshold is 200 Shukrans.
