'We are confident that our new collaborations will continue to provide our million plus members with even more opportunities to earn Air Miles and therefore enjoy the range of rewards that this brings them.

'The Geekay Group is a large chain of retail stores, dealing in video and computer games for all new generation consoles like PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and so on. With seven retail outlets and the widest range of games across all formats available, these are undoubtedly the leaders in their field,' continued Battiston.

'Octane is the first and only lifestyle vehicle service centre, and its award winning team of experts has more than 25 years of combined experience in servicing and repairing high-end luxury vehicles, so you know your car is in good hands.'

'The Abu Dhabi Golf Club is a premier golfing destination that offers one of the most luxurious golf resort experiences in the Middle East. Described as a 'super course', the 162 hectares of the Abu Dhabi Golf Club feature one of the finest 27-hole championship golfing facilities in the region. Equipped with world-class leisure and lifestyle facilities, this is the perfect recreation destination not only for Golfing enthusiasts but families as well. The club also boasts a uniquely styled club house overlooking the Golf course so now you can enjoy the view and earn Air Miles at the same time.'

'All four restaurants of the Al Koufa Group offer Arabic delicacies cooked to perfection. All outlets are uniquely located, so enjoy the heritage taste of Dubai and make this a meal to remember.'

'In just 7 years, Air Miles has become the key player in the Middle East retail loyalty market and we'll continue to expand to ensure the needs of our members are met, ultimately transforming the shopping experience of consumers within the region,' concluded Battiston.
