Things to consider before getting a cashback credit card in UAE
Before getting a cashback credit card in UAE, you must take the following aspects into consideration:
Spend eligibility – Some of the cards can come with a minimum spend criteria i.e. the cardholder must spend a significant amount (varies with the card) in order to avail the cashback offered. Make sure that you read the spend eligibility criteria carefully before applying for a cashback credit card.
Upper limits – Like the minimum spend requirement, most banks also have an upper limit on the maximum amount of cashback that can be availed by a cardholder or category-specific limits. These need to be carefully understood to avoid any discord with the bank.
Fine Print – Read the fine print. Is cashback available across all merchants or is it only with a pre-specified list of stores? Can you combine an offer along with availing a cashback? Not all the transactions will be eligible for cashback
Validity - The cashback offered can have validity. Ensure you redeem the cashback earned within the validity.
The cashback rate is an obvious factor that must be considered when you are looking for a cashback card. It also helps to understand and analyze your spending pattern as it can be aligned with the benefits offered by the credit card issuer. With a plethora of cashback credit cards in UAE, it is possible to find a card that matches your spending style. Some banks offer a higher cashback rate on groceries and utility bills while some offer better rates for travel-related transactions. This analysis can go a long way in maximizing your cashback rewards and can place the top cashback card in your wallet.
