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. “Under review” means our recorded rate didn’t match the bank’s wording, so we’re re-checking it and it isn’t used in any ranking until then.
