Welcome qualification uses the bank's first two months after issuance. The calculator uses a 60-day spend projection as an approximation; confirm the actual deadline during digital application.
Welcome amounts are standard new-credit-customer incentives. A Mashreq card held or cancelled in the previous six months makes you an existing customer. Do not count the same credit-card reward again as an Early Bird extra.
Current redemption table, effective 13 June 2026: 380 points = AED 1 cashback; 288 points = AED 1 noon gift card; 303 points = AED 1 Amazon/POS value; 32 points = 1 Skywards mile; 22 points = 1 Etihad Guest mile; 17 points = 1 Avios. Cash redemption is the model benchmark.
10 Vantage points per AED on supermarket, fuel and dining applies to domestic transactions. International transactions earn 2 points per AED, including foreign category spending.
Mashreq Vantage points expire three years after earning. Separately, the entire balance is forfeited after 12 months without earning or redeeming. Payment delay / default can restrict redemption. Cash, voucher and airline conversions differ. This rule is for the named Vantage cards, not automatically Aura or noon rewards.
