If a big purchase has been sitting in your basket all autumn, the next two weeks are the time to make it. Aldar’s Luxury Rewards campaign is back at The Galleria Al Maryah Island and Yas Mall from 2 to 15 November, giving up to 10% back in DARNA points on qualifying luxury spending, capped at AED 30,000 per person.
How does Luxury Rewards work?
Spend AED 5,000 or more (including VAT) in total at participating stores in The Galleria Al Maryah Island and Yas Mall between 2 and 15 November 2026, paying with a card linked to your DARNA Rewards account. You get 5% back at selected watch and jewellery boutiques and 10% at other participating stores, paid as DARNA points, up to AED 30,000 per account.

💡 WOW Abu Dhabi Expert Tip: Link your card the night before, not in the shop. New cards can take up to six hours to activate, and anything you buy in that window may not count. Keep your receipts just in case.
The small print worth knowing
- Points are calculated on the price before VAT, even though the AED 5,000 threshold includes VAT.
- Online orders, gift card purchases, deposits and payment-link transactions do not count. You need to pay in store with your linked card.
- Points stay pending for 31 days after the campaign ends, so a refund within that window cancels them.
- You need to be 18 or over, and points have no cash value and cannot be transferred.
- The list of participating stores can change, so check The Galleria and Yas Mall websites before you shop.
