ADCB Emirati Islamic: Cashback with eligible dining spending. Emirates NBD Go4it Gold: ENBD Plus Points 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 2026-11-04; 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.

Plus Points are a reward currency. Merchant, cashback and airline redemptions can have different values. Published point rates are not treated as guaranteed cash returns.
Current advertised no-annual-fee offer; duration and issued terms must be confirmed. This is not labelled free for life.
Built-in nol transit functionality uses Regular class. The bank advertises Dubai Ferry rides, subject to its separate usage conditions. Neither transit spending nor ferry benefits are assumed free without those conditions.
Weekday, weekend and RTA earning are separate. The spending form does not collect transaction dates or a complete RTA split, so a headline weekend rate is not applied to the whole budget.
Published February 2026 tariff monthly finance rate: 3.69%. UAE nationals: 3.25% per month under the tariff qualification. Past-due status at least twice in six months can add 0.5 percentage points per month. Personal issued terms apply; monthly × 12 is nominal annualisation, not an effective compounded rate.
