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.
Published annual fee including VAT: AED 1575. Confirm the issued terms.
No annual forecast: the complete current earning exclusions, redemption rules and applicable product fee treatment are not yet represented in the calculator.
Mashreq Solitaire assumptions
Conditional welcome and campaign value included: AED 2,500. 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.
Verified cash redemption: 380 Mashreq Vantage points = AED 1 via Mashreq Mobile App. Vouchers and miles have different conversion values. Bill payments through Mashreq app/online do not earn. Merchant-specific perks are excluded.
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.

Mashreq Solitaire: benefit conditions and official sources
Perks and exclusions
Lounges: 12 complimentary lounge visits per calendar year via Visa Airport Companion, shared with up to one guest per visit. Only two before an international transaction over USD 1 each calendar year; allow 15 days to reflect. Replaced cards must requalify.
Cinema: 50% off eight tickets per billing cycle pooled across VOX, Reel and Novo, with no minimum spend. Book directly on cinema website/app. Separate Cinepolis eight-ticket monthly promotion at Oasis Mall, Sharjah through 31 December 2026.
Valet: Two complimentary valet services per billing cycle after AED 10,000 retail purchases in the previous cycle. Quota includes supplementary-card use; location and time limits apply.
September 2026 KFS publishes 46.20% annual retail interest; the published monthly example is 3.85%. Actual assigned rate appears on your statement. Bank FX spread is 2.89%, plus Visa/Mastercard charges; KFS labels FX VAT not applicable.
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.
Conventional Visa Infinite, distinct from Islamic Emirati Solitaire. The lounge allowance is 12 visits annually, shared with eligible guest visits.

Supplementary annual fee is AED 630 including VAT. Travel insurance requires eligible tickets paid using Solitaire and policy conditions; no standalone cash value is assumed.
