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
500 SC Credits per member you refer. 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. Minimums exist only where operationally necessary — there are no artificial restrictions:
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.
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
If you have a major booking coming — say, a 7-night luxury stay at AED 3,000/night — upgrading from Explorer to Platinum before booking triples your Credits on that transaction alone: 2,100 Credits vs 700.
- 02
Refer before you book
500 Credits per referral, no cap. Bring 10 friends before your first booking and you already have 5,000 Credits — enough for a full membership renewal.
- 03
Bundle flights and hotels separately
Credits are earned on the full value of each component independently. A AED 3,000 hotel + AED 2,500 flight earns on both in full — don't bundle into a single package if the platform splits them.
