Smiles SuperApp offers Amazon Prime membership at 58% discount

Customers can pay with their Smiles points or through credit cards; 6-month Prime membership available for AED40

Smiles, the UAE’s everyday rewards SuperApp from e&, has teamed up with Amazon.ae to offer up to six months of Amazon Prime to its members, at a discounted price of 58 per cent.

Smiles customers can use their Smiles points to subscribe to Prime membership directly on the app.

A three-month membership will cost just AED24 on the Smiles app, as against a retail price of AED48, while a six-month membership is available for AED40, compared to retail price at AED96 – a saving of 58 per cent.

Smiles customers can subscribe to Amazon.ae via app

Customers can redeem the three-month offer using 3,000 Smiles Points and the six-month offer using 5,000 points. They can also pay via a credit or debit card and earn additional points for the purchase.

At the end of the promotional period, Amazon will automatically bill customers AED16 per month to continue delivering Prime membership benefits.

The collaboration offers UAE customers the best of both worlds, combining Smiles’ innovative rewards ecosystem with the added value of Amazon Prime shopping, convenience, and entertainment benefits.

Khaled ElKhouly, Chief Consumer Officer, e& UAE, commented: “Our collaboration with Amazon is all about bringing real value and convenience to our customers. By offering discounts on Amazon Prime subscriptions through the Smiles app, we’re making it easier to ‘Reward Your Everyday’ while enjoying the best in shopping, entertainment, and savings.”

Smiles has grown to become a community of over five million members, helping them to earn and redeem points for a wide range of daily activities, including ordering food and groceries, booking home services, dining out, shopping, entertainment, travelling, and much more.

Last week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, e& announced a partnership between Smiles and China’s Tencent Cloud to enhance digital commerce in the UAE. As part of the agreement, Smiles will leverage Tencent Cloud Super App as a Service (TCSAS) solution to create an open, dynamic digital ecosystem, making it the first in the region to leverage this technology.

Prime continues to be the best way to enjoy Amazon, offering members a range of benefits such as Free Same-Day and One-Day Delivery, Free International Delivery from Amazon US, UK and Germany and access to Prime Video and Prime Gaming.
