Live offer and linked KFS disagree on the first-year fee and welcome points. Confirm the written offer; both welcome rewards and AED reward value remain excluded.

50% off selected VOX screenings, up to two tickets per card per month; partner terms apply. · Mastercard lounge programme at selected 20+ lounges; confirm the participating lounges, visit allowance and eligibility before travelling.

Monthly interest rate: 3.65%. Bank FX charge: 2.57%.

First-year fee waiver requires AED 20,000 spend within 365 days. Your forecast meets the spend target.

Not estimated: AirRewards are not assigned an unverified AED conversion, and the current 20,000-point offer/no-joining-fee headline conflicts with the linked KFS and tariff.

Current page advertises 20,000 AirRewards after AED 5,000 qualifying spend within three months for new-to-bank customers and no joining fee. Government and utility payments are excluded from the offer spend.

Conflict: the linked KFS still states 15,000 joining points, payment of a joining fee and AED 420 first-year annual fee; the linked tariff lists AED 420 joining/annual fee including VAT. Confirm the written application offer. The conservative record retains AED 420 and excludes welcome rewards from the forecast.

From subsequent years, AED 420 is waived after AED 20,000 qualifying prior-year retail spend.

Earn 1.75 AirRewards/AED 5 on AirArabia.com and eligible international retail, 1.25/AED 5 on domestic retail, and 0.30/AED 5 on listed reduced MCCs including school fees, fuel, utilities, telecom and government. Bank-channel transactions are excluded.

Annual return-flight voucher after AED 30,000 qualifying retail spend; taxes payable, UAE-origin travel and voucher conditions apply. AED 20,000 qualifying spend unlocks annual 10 kg baggage and two meal vouchers. These non-cash perks are not treated as guaranteed cash.

FX tariff charge 2.57% including VAT plus network processing approximately 1.15%. Monthly finance rate 3.65%, with a 0.5 percentage-point past-due increase.
