Emaar Hospitality Group has launched the 'U By Emaar' programme in association with Emaar Entertainment to offer rewards across various hotels, restaurants and entertainment attractions of the company.

The programme is open for individuals over 18 years from anywhere in the world. Members are rewarded with Upoints, the currency of U By Emaar, where one Upoint is earned for every one dirham of eligible spend at participating hotels and restaurants, and for every two dirhams of eligible spend at participating entertainment attractions. Ten Upoints are equivalent to one dirham when redeeming Upoints.

Members may also use Upoints and cash to match the price of the experience they seek. A minimum balance of 10,000 Upoints is required to start redeeming for stays at hotels while 2,000 Upoints are needed to start redeeming for dining experiences and 1,000 Upoints to redeem at entertainment attractions.

Emaar currently offers the loyalty programme in four tiers: Black for up to 9,999 Upoints; Silver for 10,000 to 24,999 Upoints; Gold for 25,000 to 59,999 Upoints and Platinum for 60,000 Upoints and above.

Silver, Gold and Platinum members also benefit from a wide range of benefits such as late hotel checkout at 4pm, while Gold and Platinum members receive complimentary buffet breakfast while staying at The Address Hotels + Resorts and Vida Hotels and Resorts.

Gold members can further benefit from 10% off on food and beverage bills and spa treatments, while Platinum members receive 20% off in addition to 10% off on membership fees at participating leisure clubs, to name a few.
