Cashback credit cards are quite popular among credit card customers in the UAE. With so many cards offered, it is not an easy task to compare and identify which cards offer the highest cashback that meets your spend pattern. The purpose of this article is to help you make a well-informed decision while shopping for a cashback credit card in the UAE. Before we get into the categories and recommendations, let us go through the basics.
Banks recognize their customer loyalty through rewards and promote consistent usage of their products. These loyalty rewards do build customer loyalty and loyal customers are profitable as well. The longer a customer stays with a bank they become less expensive to serve. On the other side, customer ends up saving a percentage of his spend. It is a win- win for both.
Cashback on credit cards is a loyalty reward program where in banks reward you with a percentage of spend as a cashback credit. Below is an example.
A card offers you cashback of 5% on all supermarket spends and you use this card in a supermarket for AED 1,000 in a particular month. The bank will give you a credit of AED 50 (5% of AED 1,000) in your next credit card statement. This means that you have effectively saved AED 50 and your supermarket spend cost you only AED 950. Cashback credit cards can be particularly useful in helping you maximize your savings by simply using your credit card.
Choosing a cashback credit card may not be as easy it sounds. You need to consider the below
Which cards are available at your current income?
What are the joining offers?
How easy is to redeem cashback is it an automatic process or a manual process?
What’s the card’s cash-back rate, annual fee, maximum cashback caps, spend requirement and so on?
Do the reward points lapse after a period if not redeemed?
Any Fine prints?
Answers to the above questions will determine which card is most suitable for you. Soulwallet is a neutral personal finance comparison site. Our analysts constantly review product features of credit cards in the market to provide you with valuable insights into personal finance solutions.
We strongly recommend that the specific reward program terms are read and understood before signing up for the card. With great rewards comes great responsibility. At Soulwallet, we believe in building healthy credit habits which is critical to enjoy the rewards of a credit card. Even the best cash back rewards will not outweigh the cost of revolving debt on a card earning double-digit interest. Unless you maintain a healthy credit history, you may risk rejection from issuers, who often reserve approval for applicants with the best credit scores. Before seeking the best cash back rewards, make sure you are prepared to use your new card responsibly. Establish a healthy credit score alongside healthy credit habits like timely payments, paying balances in full, and low credit utilization.
Many or all the products featured here are from our partners who compensate us. This may influence which products we write about and where and how the product appears on a page. However, this does not influence our evaluations. Our opinions are our own.
Don't be blinded by shiny cash back rates! Comparing fees and interest rates is crucial when picking a card. A higher reward rate could be overshadowed by an annual fee or sky-high APR. Analyze the fine print - fees for foreign transactions, balance transfers, or late payments can quickly eat into your cashback. Choose a card that aligns with your spending habits and offers rewards without hidden costs, maximizing your financial benefit.

This means that you have effectively saved AED 50 and your supermarket spend cost you only AED 950. Cashback credit cards can be particularly useful in helping you maximize your savings by simply using your credit card.
Cashback credit cards offer you the chance to earn cash from the money you spend, by paying you back a percentage of what you spend or giving you reward points.
