Rewards rate
For a 5,000 salary card, the perks list is remarkable — IMAX-included cinema BOGO, Talabat discounts, even free golf. Just don't confuse it with a rewards card: half a percent back means the points alone will never repay the 630 renewal fee.
Earning and redeeming TouchPoints
The card earns up to 1 TouchPoint per 1 on most retail spend, and a recurring 10,000 bonus TouchPoints in any month you spend 10,000 — effectively doubling your earn in those months. Reduced categories apply: supermarkets, fast food, insurance and auto dealers earn 0.4 per ; fuel, education, government, real estate, telecom, charity and transport earn 0.2; UK/Europe purchases earn 0.4.
TouchPoints are worth about 0.005 each (200,000 points ≈ 1,000). Redeem instantly at UAE merchants, pay utility bills and Salik, pay your card balance, or exchange for Emirates Skywards Miles. Points stay valid for 3 years.
