For a smooth experience, members are invited to merge their duplicate accounts (by calling the support line at 800-844-4067 (STC) or 800-8500-338 (Mobily/Zain) and update their main profile, for the balance and reward redemption features to work as expected.

In this case you are using a non-unique lookup criteria such as phone number (together with your last name) and chances are that you have unintentionally:

  • Registered more than once with the same phone.
  • Provided a wrong and/or dummy phone number.
  • Provided a phone number that was somebody else’s.

Best way to address these challenges is by contacting customer service to make sure your profile is reflecting the most current information, including last name, email address and mobile phone number.
