Introducing ALFURSAN’s enhanced loyalty program
ALFURSAN is proud to announce exciting changes to our program that will provide more flexibility, value and exclusive Rewards for members. Among the sweeping improvements, we have discounted the required Miles to redeem a Reward Ticket by up to 50%, increased Reward seat availability and updated our flight earning rates by up to an additional 100% of Miles flown. To add further value to your Miles, Miles will no longer expire for active members, and we have increased our credit card earn rates so you can earn more on your everyday spend.

Fly a domestic round trip for 9000 Miles reduced from 18,000 Miles, or redeem an international roundtrip like Riyadh to London from as little as 24,000 Miles, down from 40,000 Miles.

More Seats
We’re proud to introduce Reward+ a new category of member Rewards that is designed to open more Reward seats to more destinations when members want to travel most. We’re giving you more flexibility on flights by making more Reward seats available to redeem, even during high demand periods when Reward Tickets have sold out, providing more opportunity to organize holidays around a day and time that suits you best.View the comprehensive list of Reward Ticket rates.
More Flexibility
Enjoy your Miles with no expiry.
We have overhauled our expiry policy, completely removing expiry on Miles, so long as a member remains active with the program (earning or redeeming Miles at least once every 2 years). Now you have the freedom to earn and save your Miles, to use them how you choose. Whether that’s saving your Miles for the big family holiday or spoiling yourself with an upgrade to Business Class, it’s now all possible with a more flexible Miles expiry policy.^

More Miles on the Ground
It's never been a better time to earn on the ground with increased earn rates from our credit card partners.
You will receive more Miles for every SAR as we have significantly improved the earn rates with our banking partners, giving you more value from your ALFURSAN Miles earning credit card.
For domestic spend this ranges from 33% to 67% more Miles. This combined with the up to 50% reduction in Miles required for Reward Tickets means you can enjoy up to 3x more rewards than before.
Furthermore, to add even more value to the enhanced ALFURSAN program our credit card partners are offering up to 100,000 Miles in joining bonuses, as well as up to 40,000 Miles in annual spend bonuses.
