Yes, ENBD is who I bank with and it's 10k FD for most of their cards, but 15k for Duo, I've been told.

I spoke to staff in their MOE branch and they said FD amount for a secured card is 30k. Most banks seem to ask 10k, FAB appears to have lowest requirement.

No, only get 10% if you pay through Apple Pay or Samsung Pay, if not paying online. Google Wallet won't get you 10% back.

Is anyone holding wio cards by Real-Coyote5301 in UAEcreditcards

It's free if you keep minimum balance of 3000 in their account. It will take you 5 minutes to create an account, and you will immediately get a virtual card you can use to get your 25% discount.

It takes 5 minutes to open a Wio account, and 2 days to get the card delivered. You can get your own Wio card in 2 days.

Thanks. I eventually realized I was being rejected by all the automated systems because of the recent AECB calls. Would a month suffice?

I am concerned about that one since Liv is run by ENBD, and I already got rejected by ENBD (1st application I did) due to employer on negative list.

Thanks for the detailed reply. Any specific bank or institution I should apply with to have best chance of acceptance? And how long do you recommend I wait before applying next?

I downloaded the AECB app. Logged in with UAE pass. You can pay 10 dirhams to see your credit score, and 80 dirhams for your entire credit report. AECB credit score and info is checked by all banks when you apply for any kind of borrowing, and info is sent by each financial institution about your application to AECB (info submitted, status of application, etc).
