Earning structure
| Jarir Bookstore | Jarir Discount Card is not a points program - there's no earning mechanic in the traditional sense. Instead, cardholders receive an instant 10% discount on eligible categories: most office supplies, art and craft supplies, books, and computer bags. The discount is applied automatically at checkout, both in Jarir stores and on Jarir.com. To qualify for the card, applicants must have accumulated at least 500 SAR in purchase history under their registered mobile number. Jarir verifies this automatically from past transaction records. If the threshold isn't met, customers can add purchases to reach 500 SAR. Application is processed exclusively through the Jarir mobile app. | |
|---|---|---|
| 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
| Jarir Bookstore | The 10% discount is applied automatically at the point of sale. In Jarir physical stores, cardholders open the Jarir app, tap "Discount Card" to display the digital card barcode, and present it to the cashier before payment. The eligible items are auto-discounted. On Jarir.com online, the discount applies automatically when logged in with the registered account; alternatively, cardholders can enter their 7-digit discount card number manually at checkout. No minimum spend required, no point thresholds, no redemption forms to complete. Excluded categories include electronics, computers, smartphones, TVs, and gaming. | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
