Firms forging strategic alliances are driving the competitive landscape in the loyalty programs market

To drive the adoption of their loyalty program and deliver more value on every dollar spent, firms are forging strategic alliances in the Emirati loyalty programs industry. This trend is also driving the competitive landscape in the sector.

• Qashio, the UAE-based fintech firm, entered into a strategic partnership with Emirates Skywards in December 2023. The collaboration will enable members to convert their Qashio Points into Skywards Miles, thus offering more benefits to their loyalty members. Qashio's loyalty program, notably, rewards customers making business purchases and transactions using expense cards.
• BOUNZ, the UAE-based loyalty program, also forged an alliance with Eros Group in 2023. As part of the collaboration, BOUNZ members can earn one point for every Dh6 spent on electronics and two points for every Dh6 spent on accessories at nine Eros outlets in the Emirates. BOUNZ, notably, is seeking to leverage the customer base of Eros Group to drive the adoption of its loyalty program.

Going forward, the publisher expects more such strategic partnerships to emerge in the Emirati loyalty programs market. These collaborations will, therefore, support the growth of the industry over the medium term.

The trend of new loyalty programs is projected to continue further in the Emirates in 2024

Amid the rising demand and adoption of loyalty programs in the United Arab Emirates, the trend of new and innovative program launches is expected to continue further across sectors in 2024. The last 12 months have seen some product launches in the loyalty programs market.

• DMCC, the leading free zone and governmental authority in Dubai for commodities trade and enterprise, launched DMCC Business Rewards in October 2023. This new loyalty program provides over 23,000 member companies with various discounts and benefits. Both new and existing DMCC member companies can now accumulate DMCC Business Rewards points on routine business expenses like company setup packages, DMCC services, business licensing, referrals, visa renewals, and more. This initiative aims to enhance support and customer service for DMCC's expanding business community, solidifying its position as the preferred choice for local and international businesses.
• Hala, the taxi service in Dubai, launched Captain Club in December 2023. The initiative has been specifically designed for its taxi drivers. This program offers exclusive offers and discounts, ensuring that all 22,000 Hala Captains can enjoy its benefits. The initiative has been thoughtfully crafted, taking into consideration the well-being and feedback of the taxi drivers. Hala has entered into strategic collaborations with various brands to bring exclusive offers to its Captain Club loyalty program. This includes partnerships with MakeMyTrip, offering discounts on flights and hotels, and joining alliances with Navitas Group and a well-known educational institution to provide skill-based online and offline courses for both Captains and their children.

These new launches, along with those that are planned for launch in 2024, will support innovation and growth in the Emirati loyalty program industry from the short to medium-term perspective.
