UAE: From Flights To Dining, Here’s How Your Jaywan Card Can Help You Save

Got a Jaywan card sitting in your wallet and no idea what benefits it actually gets you? Fair. Cardholders can access more than 150 offers across travel, hotels, shopping, dining, entertainment, health and wellness, but the value isn’t identical across every card tier, so it’s worth knowing exactly what applies to yours. If you’re new to the scheme altogether, our explainer on the Jaywan card launch is a good place to start.

Here’s All You Can Benefit From Your Jaywan Card In UAE

The strongest benefits currently sit with the Prestige and Royal debit tiers listed by Al Etihad Payments, so that’s where we’re focusing as per Gulf News.

Travel And Flights

• Prestige and Royal cardholders get a continuing 7% discount on eligible flight tickets booked through Trip.com  
• A similar 7% reduction applies to qualifying hotel bookings on the same platform  
• Etihad Airways has also struck an exclusive deal offering Jaywan Royal cardholders a discount on Comfort and Deluxe fares across its network. It’s worth checking if you’re a frequent Etihad flyer
• Jaywan also offers travel insurance through Sukoon. Check whether the full trip needs to be paid on the card for cover to kick in and what’s actually included (medical emergencies, cancellations, delayed baggage)

Shopping Protection

• Shopper protection and extended warranties may cover eligible purchases against specific risks or stretch out the manufacturer’s warranty  
• Claim windows, exclusions and payout caps all depend on the specific policy terms; this one’s worth reading the fine print on before you assume you’re covered

Dining And Entertainment

• Reel Cinemas offers buy-one-get-one-free tickets, plus 20% off food and beverages, for Jaywan cardholders  
• Check eligible days, cinema formats, ticket limits and whether online booking fees still apply before you book  
• The Jaywan Entertainer app unlocks buy-one-get-one-free deals across dining, hotels, entertainment, retail, health and beauty  
• You may need to register your eligible card or activate membership before the offers actually work; don’t assume it’s automatic

Is It Worth It?

If you’re weighing up a Prestige or Royal card, it’s worth comparing the likely annual value of these perks against whatever account, card or membership fees your bank charges. For context on where UAE cards generally sit on travel rewards, our piece on the UAE credit cards with the best travel perks is a handy comparison.  

Bottom line: the offers are genuinely wide-ranging, but tier and activation matter more than the marketing makes it sound. Check your card, check the app, then go make the most of it.
