For most households in the UAE, Carrefour is where the weekly shopping happens. It’s the hypermarket you walk through on the way out of the mall, the app you open when you’ve run out of milk at 9 pm, and the place the back-to-school list gets ticked off in one trip. Carrefour in the UAE is run by Majid Al Futtaim, the same group behind Mall of the Emirates, City Centre malls, VOX Cinemas and Ski Dubai, and that connection is exactly why there’s more to save here than the shelf price suggests.
The trick isn’t finding one big discount. Vouchercodes.ae has that covered for you when you shop using our verified Carrefour discount codes. It’s also about layering a few small ones: the SHARE rewards programme, the app’s own offers, the seasonal sales, and a promo code on top. Done right, those add up fast. Here’s how all of it actually works.
SHARE: the rewards programme that replaced MyCLUB
If you’ve shopped at Carrefour for a while, you’ll remember MyCLUB. In the UAE, MyCLUB has been replaced by SHARE, Majid Al Futtaim’s group-wide rewards programme. Your old MyCLUB points weren’t lost, they were carried over to a SHARE account, but going forward, earning and redeeming happens through SHARE, not MyCLUB. To use it, you either download the SHARE app or log into the Carrefour app with your SHARE credentials.
(One exception worth knowing: if you live outside the UAE, the Carrefour MyCLUB app can still be used to earn and redeem at Carrefour. For UAE residents, though, it’s SHARE from here on.)
What makes SHARE genuinely useful is its reach. It isn’t a Carrefour-only card. You earn and redeem the same points across more than 5,000 stores in the Majid Al Futtaim network, Carrefour, the malls, VOX Cinemas, Ski Dubai, Magic Planet, plus brands like LEGO, Crate & Barrel and Lululemon, and a long list of restaurants and shops inside the malls. Because grocery spending is so regular, Carrefour tends to be where the points pile up quickest.
Earning points
You earn SHARE points on what you spend across the Majid Al Futtaim ecosystem, and the rate depends on where you’re shopping. As a baseline, any store inside the malls earns 2.5 points per AED 100 spent, with Majid Al Futtaim’s own brands, Carrefour included, earning at a higher rate. Across the whole programme the earn rate ranges from 2.5 up to 150 points per AED 100, depending on the brand, the store and any offer running at the time.
There’s no physical card to carry. You just open the SHARE app, pull up your SHARE ID (tap the SHARE logo at the bottom of the screen), and show it to the cashier at Carrefour. For most stores inside the malls you can also snap a photo of your receipt and submit it within 14 days to claim points, though you don’t need to do that for Carrefour or VOX Cinemas, where your SHARE ID is scanned directly at checkout.
Spending points
Points behave a lot like cash. With the SHARE Wallet (sometimes branded SHAREPay), you can pay instantly at Carrefour and other participating locations, and you can mix points with a card if you don’t have quite enough to cover the bill. You can also convert points into a Carrefour or mall gift card straight from the app. Redemption values and any minimums can change, so it’s worth checking the current terms in the app before you cash out a big balance.
Pooling points with family
If you’re shopping for a household, set up a SHARE Family Group. You can link up to nine members, pool everyone’s points into one balance, and gift points between members. For families doing separate grocery runs, it’s the single easiest way to hit points balance faster.
The SHARE credit cards
If Carrefour is a regular fixture in your budget, a co-branded SHARE credit card can lift your earn rate well above the standard programme. Majid Al Futtaim has partnered with Emirates NBD and First Abu Dhabi Bank on SHARE cards that pay points back on your spending, including a higher rate on grocery purchases at Carrefour and on entertainment like VOX, Ski Dubai and Magic Planet, and they earn points on spending outside the Majid Al Futtaim network too. As with any credit card, the rewards only pay off if you clear the balance in full each month; otherwise interest will quietly cancel out the points. Compare the current rates and any annual fee before applying.
Where the deals actually live
SHARE is the slow-burn saving. The faster wins come from how Carrefour prices and promotes.
Weekly offers and online exclusives. Carrefour refreshes its promotions constantly, and the “Offers of the Week” and online-only sections are the first place to look before you fill your basket. The app and website regularly carry prices you won’t see in-store.
Seasonal sales. This is where the bigger discounts land. White Wednesday is the UAE’s answer to Black Friday and is one of the biggest sale events of the year, especially on electronics. Ramadan brings heavy markdowns across groceries and household staples, and you’ll also see promotions around Dubai Shopping Festival, UAE National Day and end-of-season clearances. Carrefour routinely advertises savings of up to 70% during these windows.
Multipacks and bulk buys. For things you get through constantly, cleaning supplies, pet food, pantry basics, the multipack price per unit usually beats buying singles. Stocking up also helps you clear the minimum for free delivery in one go.
App-first deals. Carrefour leans on its app to pull shoppers in, so first-order discounts, flash deals and early access to sales tend to appear there before anywhere else. If you only shop in-store, you’re leaving some of these on the table.
Ways to shop, and how delivery works
Carrefour gives you several ways to get your shopping, and the right one depends on whether you’re in a hurry:
- Express delivery brings groceries to your door in around 60 minutes, the one for missing dinner ingredients or an unexpected guest.
- Scheduled delivery lets you pick a same-day or next-day time slot that suits you.
- Click & Collect lets you order online and pick up from a participating store, free of charge, handy if you’d rather not pay for delivery or wait in.
- Electronics and large items have their own delivery handling for bigger purchases.
Free delivery kicks in above a minimum order value, and that threshold can change, so check the figure shown at checkout for your area. On payment, Carrefour is flexible: card, cash on delivery, buy-now-pay-later instalments through partner banks, scan-to-pay via Carrefour Pay, and of course your SHARE points.
How to stack your savings
The shoppers who get the most out of Carrefour rarely rely on a single discount. The combination usually looks like this: start from a seasonal sale or an online-exclusive price, apply a working promo code at checkout where the terms allow it, pay with a SHARE credit card to earn a higher rate of points, and let those points build toward a future redemption. Each layer is modest on its own. Together, on a regular grocery bill, they add up to real money over a year.
A quick habit that pays off: before you check out, glance at the current promo codes here on VoucherCodes.ae, confirm the free-delivery threshold for your basket, and make sure your SHARE ID is attached to the order. Thirty seconds, every time.
Quick answers
Is MyCLUB still a thing? Not in the UAE, it’s been replaced by SHARE. Your old points were moved across to SHARE automatically.
Do I need a physical card? No. Everything runs through the SHARE app; you just show your SHARE ID at the till.
Can I use SHARE points outside Carrefour? Yes, across Majid Al Futtaim malls, VOX Cinemas, Ski Dubai, Magic Planet and a long list of partner brands and restaurants.
Can I combine a promo code with SHARE points? Often, yes, where the terms allow, that’s exactly the kind of stacking that gets you the best value. Always check the conditions on the specific code.
Carrefour rewards the shoppers who pay a little attention. Set up SHARE, keep the app handy, time your bigger buys to the seasonal sales, and check for a code before you pay. None of it takes long, and on a shop you’re doing every week anyway, it quietly and steadily pays for itself.
