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.
