Cashback is a percentage of spend. Points and miles are shown the way each bank states them: as % back, or as points or miles per AED 1, with an approximate % value (≈) where the bank publishes what a point is worth. Miles and hotel points have no fixed cash value, so they are never converted. Cashback, points and miles are ranked separately. “—” means the bank publishes no category rate we can rank for that card.
CardMax may earn a commission if you're approved for a card. This never affects how cards are ranked.
