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 2026-10-25; product terms retain the review dates below. Negative values show fees exceeding modelled rewards.
Conditional welcome and campaign value included: Not estimated. 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.
Fee conflict: current tariff lists AED 99 plus VAT (AED 103.95), while the product page says AED 199 before VAT. Confirm the fee in your issued terms; no net-value estimate is shown.
Published earning rates are shown separately. No annual forecast is made until product-specific caps, redemption and spend qualifications are fully represented.
ADIB Cashback 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.

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.
