Year one vs ongoing value

Adjust spend AED 7,800/month

Compare spend rewards minus card fees on eligible everyday UAE purchases.

Uses each card’s general rate, not boosted or reduced-rate categories, and assumes you pay the balance in full. Welcome offers, perks, paid add-ons, rebates and foreign-currency charges aren’t included. Issuer exclusions and credit limits still apply. Targeted or promotional fee waivers are not modelled unless stated on the estimate.
