As a mother of two with both children going to school here in Dubai a very useful loyalty scheme is Magrudy’s Loyalty Programme. This is principally because Magrudy’s is the main supplier of many expatriate school uniforms here in Dubai.

Every year on returning from my annual leave in the summer I and hundreds of other mothers and children trot off to outfit our children with skirts, trousers, blouses, shirts, PE Kit, shoes, stationery the list is endless and the till keeps ringing. As I hand over the visa card I always hand over my Magrudy’s Loyalty Card. Every time you shop at Magrudy’s you gain one point for every Dirham you spend. These points can be used to spend in the future on any purchases made at Magrudy’s which is extremely useful for books, toys, gift cards and wrapping paper for all the parties the children are invited to throughout the year.  Magrudy’s also sells a large selection of stationery, art supplies, sewing & knitting equipment, educational books and some lovely souvenirs for presents to take back to your home country.

Other benefits include invitations to book signings, workshops, exclusive discount days, triple points during your birthday month, gift wrapping if you spend over a certain amount. There are three tiers depending on how much you spend – Gold, Silver & Blue all having slightly different benefits.

I highly recommend applying for this card as with many of the schools there is no other outfitter in town so you may as well be rewarded. After that stressful day of trying to appease the child who does not want that skirt or those flat school shoes – treat your self and put your feet up with a good book or two thanks to all your all your accumulated points.
