CBD Al Islami Super Saver Signature has the higher ongoing modelled value by AED 2,809.2 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.

ADCB TouchPoints 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.

Reduced supermarket, QSR, education and fuel rates apply. Includes published monthly TouchPoints bonus at the spending gate; uses conservative bill-payment redemption. Generic utility payments are excluded until channel classification is confirmed.

CBD Al Islami Super Saver 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.

Standard Islamic Super Saver renewal annual fee is AED 420 including VAT, with first year free per the linked KFS.

Confirm migrated / issued cohort and any renewal waiver; none is inferred automatically.

Partial forecast for direct bills, education, supermarket and fuel transactions under the bank’s published monthly tiers. Telecom shares the bills cap but is excluded from this forecast. Insurance, bank-channel payments, aggregators, instalments and other excluded transactions must not be entered as eligible retail. Earning is limited by the approved credit limit. No unverified renewal waiver is assumed.
