How the maths works
Earn rate applied to your categories
Each card's earn rate is multiplied by your annual spend in the matching category. For example: AED 24,000/year groceries at 5% cashback = AED 1,200 gross. Category caps are applied before totalling.
Points converted to dirhams
Reward points and miles are converted to AED using the issuer's published minimum redemption rate. Cashback is cash, valued at 100%. The conservative published rate is always used, not the best-case promotional rate.
Annual fee and FX cost deducted
The full published annual fee is deducted. If you stated international travel spend, the FX markup cost is also deducted, because that is real money the card costs you on every foreign transaction.
