ADCB TouchPoints Infinite

Utility earning in this exact product is unverified. The supplied benchmark assumed 0.2 TouchPoints/AED; another bank table concerns an unestablished Excellency cohort. The default forecast excludes that utility earning and excludes the unverified category from the bonus gate; it does not assert that all utility payments are ineligible. The supplied 7,700-point example remains illustrative only.

CBD Al Islami Super Saver Signature has the higher ongoing modelled value by AED 3,570 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.
