SC Credits Guide: Earn, Multiply & Redeem Without the Fine Print
No blackout dates. No expiry. No devaluation. Here's exactly how SC Credits work — and how to get the most out of every booking, referral, and redemption.
Most loyalty programmes are engineered to frustrate. Points expire, categories are restricted, blackout dates block the redemptions you actually want, and a fine-print devaluation can wipe out years of accumulation overnight. SC Credits are built to be the opposite: earned automatically on every transaction, never expiring, and redeemable wherever you need them most.
What are SC Credits?
SC Credits are Stunning Club's proprietary rewards currency. Every booking you make — hotel, flight, or service — earns SC Credits automatically. No opt-in, no promo code, no minimum spend. The earn rate is simple: 30 SC Credits for every AED 1,000 spent. Your membership tier then applies a multiplier on top of that base rate.
The core formula
credits = (booking_value ÷ 1,000) × 30 × tier_multiplier
On an AED 2,000 hotel stay: (2,000 ÷ 1,000) × 30 × 1.0 = 60 Credits (Stunning) — or 90 Credits at Obsidian (1.5×)
How earning works
There are three ways to earn SC Credits:
Hotel bookings
30 Credits per AED 1,000 of booking value, automatically applied. Tier multipliers stack on top.
Flights
Same rate applied to flight value.
Referrals
Earn 3,000 SC Credits (AED 30) for every member who subscribes to a Pass. No cap. No expiry on the referral bonus.
The tier multiplier — where it gets interesting
Your membership tier determines a multiplier applied to every SC Credit you earn. This is where frequent travellers see compounding returns:
Stunning

Base rate
Gold
1.25×
+25% more
Obsidian
1.5×
+50% more
An Obsidian member earns 50% more SC Credits on every booking versus a Stunning member — permanently, with no extra effort required.
How to redeem
SC Credits redeem against three things. Two limits apply, and we would rather you read them here than meet them at checkout: a small per-redemption minimum, and a cap of 15% of any single booking's value.
Hotel offset
Apply SC Credits to reduce a hotel booking. Minimum 100 Credits per redemption.
Membership renewal
Renew your Stunning Pass with Credits. Minimum 5,000 Credits per renewal.
Flights
Offset flight cost with Credits. No blackout dates, no seat class restrictions.
Why the cap exists: SC Credits are funded by Pass fees rather than by the booking itself, so pacing redemption to a share of each booking is what lets us promise no expiry and no devaluation and mean it. It limits how fast you can spend Credits — never how many you can hold, and never what they are worth. On an AED 4,000 stay that is up to AED 600 off, and the remainder stays in your balance for the next booking.
Redemption happens via your SC Credits wallet — no customer-service call, no waiting period. Credits are applied at checkout in real time.
The key guarantee: never expire, never devalue
The SC Credits Guarantee
SC Credits never expire and are never subject to forced devaluation. The earn rate and redemption values are fixed in your membership terms at the time you join. A Credit earned today is worth the same in three years.
This is where SC Credits diverge most sharply from airline miles, which airlines regularly devalue — sometimes by 25–30% overnight with no notice. What you earn is what you keep.
What SC Credits are not
- Not linked to any commodity price — Credits have a fixed, stable value
- Not subject to blackout dates or restricted redemption windows
- Not a tiered cashback that changes without notice
- Not a points currency that requires 50,000 minimum before you can use anything
- Not a programme with hidden fees on redemption
Three strategies that actually move the needle
- 01
Upgrade your tier before a big trip
Credits are earned at the tier you hold when the booking completes, so a tier change lands on everything you book afterwards. The ladder is 30 Credits per AED 1,000 at the base tier, 1.25x and 1.5x on the higher pass tiers — so a large stay is where the multiplier is worth the most, in proportion.
- 02
Refer before you book
Referrals earn 3,000 SC Credits (AED 30) per friend who subscribes to a Pass — no cap. Build up a balance before your first booking and put it straight toward the stay.
- 03
Earn on the stay, not the trip
Credits are earned on completed hotel bookings made through Stunning Club. Flights are not sold here, so nothing is earned on airfare however you book it — plan the accommodation through the platform and the credits follow the stay.
