FLASH NEWSEsaad Card Explained: Who Qualifies and How to Check

What the Esaad Card is

The Esaad Card is a loyalty and discount card launched by Dubai Police in March 2018. It gives holders offers across sectors such as commercial, tourism, entertainment, healthcare and education, with participating companies in the UAE and abroad. It was recently extended to students of the Hamdan bin Mohammed Scholarship Programme.

Who has been eligible

• Dubai Police staff.
• Employees of government institutions and authorities.
• Staff of certain semi-government and private companies that have signed agreements with the Esaad Card Centre.
• Scholarship students covered by the new memorandum.

An earlier report said the cardholder’s parents, spouse and children can also use the offers. Eligibility rules are set by the Esaad Card Centre and can change.

How to check

Go to the registration page on the official Esaad website and enter your full name, mobile number and Emirates ID number. If your ID is registered in the Esaad system, you can apply for the card. If it is not, ask your employer’s HR team whether the company has an agreement with the Esaad Card Centre.
