Yajool Editor’s Rating ?Card Rating is based on the opinion of Yajool’s editors and is not influenced by the card issuer.3.8 / 5Go to review

Our take: A benefits-first premium card — lounge access, golf, cinema and food-delivery perks are excellent, but the TouchPoints earn rate itself is average.

Heads up: The ⃃ 1,050 annual fee is never waived, and many everyday categories (supermarkets, fuel, education, government) earn only 0.2–0.4 TouchPoints per ⃃ instead of 1.5.

Why we chose it

What makes it strong

The TouchPoints Infinite is really two cards in one: an average rewards card and an excellent perks card. The 1.5-points-per-⃃ headline works out to roughly 0.75% back, and drops sharply on supermarkets, fuel and other everyday categories — so don't pick it for the points.

What to watch

Pick it for the benefits. Unlimited lounge access with a guest, free golf at two top courses, VOX buy-1-get-1, Caribou coffee, Talabat and Noon discounts, and an ⃃ 1,200 Expedia voucher that effectively cancels out the first-year fee. If you'll actually use two or three of those perks each month, the ⃃ 1,050 fee pays for itself; if not, a simpler card will serve you better.

Pros

  • Unlimited airport lounge access with a guest, for supplementary cardholders too
  • ⃃ 1,200 Expedia 2-night stay voucher effectively offsets the first-year fee
  • Free golf at two premium courses (with ⃃ 5,000 monthly spend)
  • Rich everyday discounts: VOX buy-1-get-1, Caribou, 20% Talabat, 15% Noon
  • Solid travel insurance and Visa Infinite concierge included

Cons

  • ⃃ 1,050 annual fee is never waived
  • TouchPoints value is modest — roughly 0.75% back on general spend
  • Supermarkets, fuel, education and other common categories earn only 0.2–0.4 points per ⃃

Premium Min. salary ⃃ 10,000/mo
Yajool Editor’s Rating ?Card Rating is based on the opinion of Yajool’s editors and is not influenced by the card issuer.4 / 5Go to review

Our take: A genuinely rich Emiratis-only package: 300,000 welcome TouchPoints, a metal card, lounge, gym and cinema perks, and ADCB's lowest card interest rate — but the ⃃ 2,100 fee never goes away and everyday categories earn a fraction of the headline rate.

Heads up: Open to UAE nationals only, and the 'up to 3 TouchPoints per ⃃' headline drops to 0.7 at supermarkets and fast food and 0.35 on fuel, telecom and government payments — while the ⃃ 2,100 annual fee applies from year one with no waiver.

Why we chose it

What makes it strong

For Emiratis, the Betaqti is one of the most complete lifestyle packages on the market at its salary bar: a laser-etched metal World Elite card from ⃃ 10,000 monthly income, a 300,000-TouchPoints welcome bonus, four VOX buy-one-get-one tickets a month including the THEATRE experience, unlimited Caribou coffee BOGO, UFC Gym access, 14 lounge visits and six Careem airport transfers a year. The 2.50% monthly interest rate — ADCB's lowest — and the 80% cash advance limit add real financial flexibility that most premium cards don't offer.

What to watch

The economics reward heavy, well-aimed spending. General retail earns up to 3 TouchPoints per ⃃ (roughly 1.8% back by ADCB's own valuation), but supermarkets, fast food, fuel, telecom and government payments earn a fraction of that, and the headline anniversary bonus needs ⃃ 250,000+ of annual spend plus next year's ⃃ 2,100 fee paid before it lands. If your spending is mostly in the de-rated everyday categories, a free cashback card will out-earn it — the Betaqti earns its fee on status, perks and the welcome bonus, not on groceries.

Pros

  • 300,000 TouchPoints welcome bonus — roughly ⃃ 1,800 of value by ADCB's own benchmark
  • Anniversary gift of up to 750,000 TouchPoints a year for high spenders
  • 2.50% monthly retail interest rate, below ADCB's standard 3.25%
  • Metal laser-etched card with 14 lounge visits, 6 Careem airport rides and UFC Gym access
  • Four VOX buy-one-get-one tickets a month including THEATRE, plus unlimited Caribou BOGO
  • Accessible ⃃ 10,000 minimum salary for a World Elite card

Cons

  • Exclusively for UAE nationals — residents and expats cannot apply
  • ⃃ 2,100 annual fee with no first-year waiver, and ⃃ 1,050 per supplementary card
  • 2.99% foreign currency fee on non-⃃ spend
  • Everyday categories are heavily de-rated: 0.7 points at supermarkets and fast food, 0.35 on fuel, telecom and government payments
  • Anniversary TouchPoints only unlock at ⃃ 250,000+ annual spend and require paying the next year's fee

Yajool Editor’s Rating ?Card Rating is based on the opinion of Yajool’s editors and is not influenced by the card issuer.3.5 / 5Go to review

Our take: Strong lifestyle perks — VOX, Talabat, golf — for a low salary bar, but hold it past year one only if the benefits outweigh the ⃃ 630 renewal fee.

Heads up: From year two the fee is ⃃ 630 while base earning is only ~0.5% back — the card makes sense for its VOX / Talabat / golf perks, not its points.

  • Instalments: 0% for up to 24 monthsDetails on the bank's site

Why we chose it

What makes it strong

The TouchPoints Platinum is best read as a lifestyle card with a low entry bar. Buy-1-get-1 VOX tickets across IMAX and VIP, 20% off Talabat twice a month and free golf (with ⃃ 5,000 monthly spend) are perks you'd normally expect from cards demanding three times the salary.

What to watch

The rewards themselves are the weak spot: 1 TouchPoint per ⃃ is roughly 0.5% back, and common categories drop to 0.2–0.4. Enjoy the free first year, then do the maths — if you're not using the VOX, Talabat or golf perks most months, the ⃃ 630 renewal is hard to justify against a no-fee or cashback alternative.

Pros

  • First-year annual fee waived for new customers
  • Accessible ⃃ 5,000 minimum salary
  • VOX buy-1-get-1 (incl. IMAX and VIP), 20% Talabat and free golf — unusual perks at this tier
  • 10,000 bonus TouchPoints in months you spend ⃃ 10,000
  • 365-day purchase protection and 1-year extended warranty

Cons

  • ⃃ 630 annual fee from year two is high for the rewards on offer
  • Base earn of 1 TouchPoint per ⃃ ≈ only 0.5% back
  • Supermarkets, fuel, education and government spend earn just 0.2–0.4 points per ⃃
  • Lounge access limited to 3–4 visits a year, and the Mastercard variant adds spend conditions

Our take: A keep-forever free card: thin rewards, but the monthly 5,000-point bonus and VOX offer cost you nothing.

Heads up: Base earning is only 0.25% back — the card is worth it mainly if you hit the ⃃ 5,000 monthly spend that triggers the 5,000-point bonus.

  • Instalments: 0% for up to 12 monthsDetails on the bank's site
  • Foreign fees: 2.99%

Why we chose it

What makes it strong

As a free card, the TouchPoints Titanium/Gold is easy to recommend and hard to get excited about. Half a point per ⃃ is thin — about 0.25% back — but there's no fee eating into it, and the recurring 5,000-point bonus on ⃃ 5,000 monthly spend doubles the effective rate for a typical household's spending level.

What to watch

Treat it as a starter card into ADCB's TouchPoints ecosystem: two free VOX 2D tickets a month, a small monthly Talabat discount, 0% school-fee instalments, and points you can spend on bills, Salik or Skywards Miles. If you later want lounge access and bigger perks, the Platinum and Infinite sit on the same program.

Pros

  • Genuinely free: no annual fee in any year, on any ADCB segment
  • Low ⃃ 5,000 minimum salary (or ⃃ 3,000 credit limit eligibility)
  • The ⃃ 5,000 monthly-spend bonus doubles your effective earn to ~1 point per ⃃
  • VOX buy-1-get-1 and a monthly Talabat discount at zero cost
  • 0% school-fee instalments and full TouchPoints redemption flexibility

Cons

  • Base earn of 0.5 TouchPoints per ⃃ ≈ only 0.25% back
  • No airport lounge access, travel insurance or golf
  • Supermarkets, fuel, education and government spend earn just 0.2–0.4 points per ⃃

Are TouchPoints worth collecting?

TouchPoints trade peak per-point value for flexibility: you can spend them on flights and hotels, shopping vouchers, utility bills or plain statement credit, with no transfer partners to learn.

Redemption value varies by channel — the travel portal usually returns the most per point, while vouchers and bill payments trade value for convenience. Check the rate before you burn a big balance.

Yajool Editor’s Rating ?Card Rating is based on the opinion of Yajool’s editors and is not influenced by the card issuer.3.3 / 5Go to review

Our take: A keep-forever free card: thin rewards, but the monthly 5,000-point bonus and VOX offer cost you nothing.

Heads up: Base earning is only 0.25% back — the card is worth it mainly if you hit the ⃃ 5,000 monthly spend that triggers the 5,000-point bonus.

Yajool Editor’s Rating ?Card Rating is based on the opinion of Yajool’s editors and is not influenced by the card issuer.4 / 5Go to review

Our take: A genuinely rich Emiratis-only package: 300,000 welcome TouchPoints, a metal card, lounge, gym and cinema perks, and ADCB's lowest card interest rate — but the ⃃ 2,100 fee never goes away and everyday categories earn a fraction of the headline rate.

Heads up: Open to UAE nationals only, and the 'up to 3 TouchPoints per ⃃' headline drops to 0.7 at supermarkets and fast food and 0.35 on fuel, telecom and government payments — while the ⃃ 2,100 annual fee applies from year one with no waiver.
