A few years ago, yes, but a colleague tried recently, and was declined. I think it’s much more difficult, if not impossible. The CD service in Dubai used to be fairly relaxed, but has been pared back the last three years.
Someone on here did say that you can pay at the counter, c.$30, for a ride into town and back, but not sure if this is available to reward ticket holders.
