ADCB 365 Cashback: Dining, fuel and groceries with a regular monthly budget. RAKBANK Islamic Platinum: RAKrewards under the published conditions. Start with eligibility, reward use and total recurring cost.
Same AED 10,000 monthly budget, paid in full. Net value is eligible rewards plus qualifying welcome offers, less modelled card, joining and plan fees. FX charges, borrowing costs and unpriced perks are excluded.
An AED-value winner is not established because a reward conversion or recurring fee is unconfirmed. Use the verified differences and ask the issuer about missing terms.
A higher estimate does not establish eligibility. Restricted points and miles need a redemption you can use. Benchmark calculated 2026-10-25; product terms retain the review dates below. Negative values show fees exceeding modelled rewards.
Conditional welcome and campaign value included: AED 365. It requires the bank’s new-customer, application-date and spending conditions; it is not a guaranteed payment.
Published renewal fee used; unverified discretionary or relationship waivers are excluded.
Partial estimate: direct utility merchant assumed; school fees excluded conservatively. No separate subscription, Salik, EU geography or credit-limit inputs; merchant coding and assigned limit can reduce earnings.
