### 1/5 — Misleading and a total headache

*2025-09-26*

I’ve had nothing but frustration with Darna Rewards by Aldar. Honestly, the program feels fake and almost like a scam.

They advertise that you’ll earn points automatically when you use your registered card — but in reality, you don’t. I’ve made multiple purchases at Yas Mall, and the points never reflected. Even when I used Apple Pay with my registered card, nothing came through.

Instead, every single time I shop, I have to waste time sending them an email with proof just to get the points I should have received automatically. To make it worse, the app doesn’t even give you an option to upload receipts yourself, so you’re stuck chasing their team manually.

The customer service is terrible. No proper support, no transparency, and no accountability. It’s a complete headache. They make it sound smooth and rewarding, but in reality, it’s broken and disappointing.

Honestly, the whole experience makes the program feel misleading, unreliable, and not worth the effort.

**Developer response:** We apologize for any inconvenience you’ve experienced with our app. We take customers' feedback seriously, and we’ll make sure to address this and make it right for you. Could you please share your issue with us at customerservice@darnarewards.com? We’re here to help.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-07-28*

As I’m writing this I see all the “app doesn’t work” reviews are over a year old..clearly nothing has changed..app crashes when u open it, doesn’t allow linking the credit card..pretty much useless..at this point i guess if you’re able to park in the Darna allocated area at yas mall thats about the best benefit you’ll get out of the app
