Is there such a thing... is it associated with a specific bank or can anyone get one.

citi bank is the only bank let you do it in Dubai, but they are charging 300 something dhs for annual fee.

I thought Emirates Bank also did it???

Don't get confused! Many of the credit cards let you collect 'air miles' but it's not for flights. It's a little blue card which you can collect points at places like Spinneys, various restaurants and shops. You collect points and can exchange them for anything from a mobile phone, hotel stay, flights, spa treatments, loads of stuff.

HSBC do that and if you also give your air miles card you get double points.

Yeah Chocs I have one of them, I thought that Emirates Bank did a points system that you could convert into Emirates Air Miles

Citibank has it, but its not the only one. I have an Emirates Bank credit card and it allows you to redeem them as skywards miles along many other things. I have actually accrued enough miles on my credit card and got me a free ticket to new york on emirates

I have been collecting airmiles fo a couple of years and now have enough for a digital Video Camera from Sony, thats ok for nothing.

So not true Maaad, I've collected points and got a slim-line scanner for my laptop, laptop speakers, a blender, business card holder, and my last redeemable item was a TV!

As I said if you pay with your credit card and present the airmiles card, you can really rack up the points.
