ADIB Cashback: benefit conditions and official sources

Perks and exclusions

  • Lounges: No complimentary access verified
  • Cinema: No current offer verified.
  • Annual fee AED 99 plus 5% VAT = AED 103.95.

  • Minimum salary and exact Visa tier are not published in checked current sources; the artwork does not say Platinum.
  • New covered cards issued from 15 February 2024 use the published 3.75% monthly profit rate. Legacy salary-transfer rows show different rates.
  • Non-AED service fee is 2.30% before VAT (2.415% including VAT), added to the Visa conversion rate and separate network fee; this is not an all-in FX cost.
  • Overseas AED transaction service fee is 2.75% before VAT from 10 September 2026, including the stated Visa component; separate conversion terms apply.

Liv Tamayaz World: benefit conditions and official sources

Perks and exclusions

  • Lounges: Mastercard Travel Pass: 800+ advertised network; complimentary entry conditions apply.
  • Cinema: VOX: 3 tickets per month; consult current booking terms.
  • Tamayaz is a separate Union Coop loyalty programme; ordinary Liv Cashback credit-limit caps are not automatically applied.
  • Petroleum, transit, government, utilities, real estate, education and telecom receive the reduced 0.1% advertised equivalent. Bank-channel utility payments earn no points.
  • Gold membership is available to Union Coop shareholders; confirm the redemption value for your membership before applying.
  • January 2026 combined KFS: Cashback and Tamayaz Platinum monthly interest is 3.49%, with a published minimum salary of AED 5,000; Cashback+ and Tamayaz World have 3.25% interest and an AED 15,000 salary criterion. The generic Tamayaz FAQ still states AED 5,000, so World eligibility remains conflicting pending issuer clarification. Approval and other criteria apply.
  • Published nominal Liv foreign-processing bank fee: 1.99%. Mastercard processing is additional (the bank quotes approximately 1.15%), and conversion and applicable tax costs may apply. Exact percentage VAT and foreign-AED scope are not settled. This is not an all-in FX price.
  • Union Coop-only Tamayaz redemption: Gold shareholders use 60 points for AED 1; Silver uses 80 points for AED 1. Minimum 1,000 points. All points expire on 31 December each year. Use Union Coop’s digital app card under current operator rules. Bank-card earning and ordinary Union Coop loyalty earning are separate; these are store-redemption values, not unrestricted cash.
