ADCB Emirati Islamic: Cashback with eligible dining spending. FAB SHARE Signature: SHARE Points 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 1,962 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.

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.
FAB SHARE Signature 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.
Rewards have restricted SHARE redemption value. Groceries are assumed to be outside qualifying SHARE merchants; partner purchases are entered separately. Only card-earned rewards are included, excluding ordinary SHARE app points. Monthly eligible spending is limited to the approved credit limit; cycling the limit is not assumed to earn further rewards.
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.
