The GEMS REWARDS Programme is our way of saying ‘Thank You’ to our parents and staff. Designed to reduce the impact of school fees and further enhance the lifestyle of our families and staff, the programme comprises of three key elements:
a) The GEMS FAB Credit Card that offers up to 4.25% discount on school fees.
b) The GEMS Ambassador Programme – offering cashback benefits to parents who refer children into participating schools, upon successful enrolment.
c) Everyday Savings – through a network of partners across dining, retail, travel, and entertainment etc. GEMS has negotiated offers and discounts that significantly contribute to everyday savings.
d) GEMS Points - Earn GEMS Points through select partners or by making purchases on The Marketplace
We will continue to build this network and widen our offering, as we strive to deliver better offers every day.
The GEMS Rewards App is reserved exclusively for the GEMS Community, including GEMS families and staff.
Upon enrolment, you will receive an email from GEMS, which includes your Membership details, as well as your GEMS Rewards App login information.
