A shopping receipt could lead to a new home in Dubai this summer. That sounds almost too generous, so it is worth understanding exactly how the Win Your Home in Dubai campaign works before you start collecting receipts.
The campaign runs from 22 May until 30 August 2026. It is part of the summer retail season and is open to eligible residents and visitors who are at least 18 years old. The headline prize is a two bedroom home, while weekly draws will award studio apartments.
Entering is fairly simple, but a receipt sitting in your wallet does not count by itself. You need to complete the registration process correctly and keep the original purchase record.
What you need to do
Make an eligible purchase of at least AED 500 at a participating outlet. The campaign covers more than 1,000 brands across over 3,500 retail locations, so there is a wide choice. Even so, never assume that every shop or every purchase is included. Look for official campaign material at the outlet or check the campaign website before paying.
After the purchase, scan the QR code shown on the official campaign material. Complete the requested details and upload a clear image of the receipt. A blurred photo, a cropped total, or missing shop details could slow validation, so take a moment to check the image before submitting it.
The receipt must meet the qualifying amount. Each additional eligible spend of AED 500 or more can create another entry. The official announcement does not say that one large receipt will always be divided into several entries, so it is safer to follow the exact wording shown on the registration page instead of guessing.
Why keeping the receipt matters
Do not throw the original receipt away after uploading it. Keep it flat and readable until the campaign is over and any prize checks are complete. If you shop frequently, place campaign receipts in one envelope and write the date of registration on the back in pencil.
It also helps to take a second photo for your own records. Your copy should show the outlet name, purchase date, total amount, and receipt number. This is a practical safeguard if your phone is replaced or the original paper fades.
Entries remain valid for later draws, according to the official campaign announcement. That means someone who enters early may still have a chance in subsequent draws. There are 12 homes in total, including 11 studio apartments in weekly draws and the final two bedroom grand prize.
A sensible way to take part
The best approach is to treat the draw as an extra benefit on shopping you already planned. Spending beyond your budget simply to gain an entry can turn a fun campaign into an expensive gamble. If your normal family purchase qualifies, register it. If it does not, there is no need to buy something unnecessary.
If several people in a household are shopping, decide who will register each receipt and use accurate details every time. Duplicate uploads or inconsistent names can create confusion during validation. A simple note on your phone with the purchase date, shop, amount, and submission confirmation makes it easier to track entries without repeatedly uploading the same receipt.
Returns also deserve attention. If an item is returned and the qualifying spend falls below AED 500, the related entry may no longer meet the campaign terms. Keep refund records and read the current rules before relying on an entry linked to a changed purchase.
Be cautious with messages claiming that you have won. A genuine prize process should be connected to the details you submitted through the official campaign channel. Never share a bank password, card PIN, or one time security code. Do not pay a stranger to release a prize. When in doubt, return to the official website rather than following a link in an unexpected message.
Before the closing date
Do not leave registration until the final evening. A crowded website, an unclear receipt, or a simple typing error can become stressful when time is running out. Upload each qualifying receipt soon after purchase and make sure the submission is acknowledged.
The campaign closes on 30 August 2026. Dates, participating locations, and detailed conditions can change, so read the current terms on the official campaign website. The official terms should always take priority over advice shared on social media.
If you are visiting Dubai, register with contact details you can still access after travelling home. Residents should also check that their phone number and email are typed correctly. A prize organiser cannot reach you if one digit or letter is wrong.
