ADCB Emirati Islamic: Cashback with eligible dining spending. DIB Prime Platinum: DIB Walaa with eligible international spend spending. 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.
ADCB Emirati Islamic has the higher ongoing modelled value by AED 1,497 a year on this AED 10,000 monthly budget. This is an estimate using the stated redemption assumptions, not a personal recommendation or guaranteed saving.
A higher estimate does not establish eligibility. Restricted points and miles need a redemption you can use. Benchmark calculated 2026-11-04; product terms retain the review dates below. Negative values show fees exceeding modelled rewards.
Conditional welcome and campaign value included: AED 0. 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.
UAE nationals only. Assumes eligible domestic dining/fuel and general retail, AED 7,000 monthly gate and AED 1,500 total monthly cap. Special cinema, jewellery, fitness and spa benefits are excluded.
DIB Prime Platinum assumptions
Conditional welcome and campaign value included: AED 0. 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.
Base and reduced-category Walaa forecast using restricted bill/travel redemption at 20,000 points = AED 100. EU transactions and DIB-channel utility/government bill payments earn no forecast rewards. Assumes eligible direct-merchant retail within the assigned credit limit; lifestyle perks, merchant-specific extras and borrowing costs are excluded.
A lighter budget can miss a spending gate; a bill-heavy budget can earn reduced rates. These examples use the same rules as the personal selector.

Eligible-spend illustration, before transaction-level rounding: enter only qualifying transactions above AED 10. DIB excludes each transaction of AED 10 or less and rounds spending and awarded rewards down to whole units. Monthly totals cannot establish exact bank-awarded cashback, Walaa points or Skywards miles.
Unredeemed Walaa rewards expire 24 months after accrual. Primary-cardholder redemption, programme minimums and current terms apply. Prime bill / travel value is restricted; SHAMS statement-credit conversion differs. Consumer cashback and Skywards expiry are separate programme scopes.
