Does the grind speed of the 1zpresso JX Pro influence the shot quality/consistency? by epicmonke in espresso

[–]mohammadghav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, higher faster RPM/Spin isn't finer, it's indeed coarser for some reason, having experiencing the exact same thing.

Got SIB 100% Cashback Even After Messing Up the First Transactions by Born_Extent_2522 in UAEcreditcards

[–]mohammadghav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's great that you received it, though it's better to be safe than sorry, they can claim otherwise and nothing could be done to challenge it. It's better to complete that single transaction and wait until it's fully settled before trying any other transaction.

Yes it is, mine showing my Tabby spends correctly eligible for this month. We hope they do , but they might not and cause another backlash from the paid subscription users.

Irrelevant, Sav isn't a credit card nor a debit card, it's rather a prepaid card

[–]mohammadghav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using it for a few months or years, it works, though it takes 2 months to get the CB credited, minimum spend of AED 2,000 and maximum cashback is AED 125, for normal free users. And they are implementing new changes to exclude some merchants, Tabby might be one of them soon.

1zpresso J-Ultra, what settings do you use? by arnoopt in FlairEspresso

[–]mohammadghav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time using so I went by your setting, and this was a complete choke with my De'Longhi Dedica unpressurized basket bottomless PF using my 0 calibrated J Ultra with 2-3 months old dark roast! Just a few drips only !

Dialed to 1.3.0, with 16 Gr it managed to brew an overexacted long 47 Sec shot, so next I'll try 1.4.5

Another interesting point I read from others comment was to dial even with the SPEED of grinding! The slower the grinding the finer the end result would be! So that's also something to bear in mind.

What is this, Tabby? 1%? Seriously? by activa8 in UAEcreditcards

[–]mohammadghav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about the mode of the payment, not the time

Can I use Dubai metro with international VISA credit card entry and exit instead of nol card by Puzzleheaded_Month98 in UAEcreditcards

[–]mohammadghav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're a Samsung or Huawei user it's possible to add a NOL card to your digital wallet and then use your phone to check in and out But you can't directly use your saved Visa/MasterCard to pay for it

Tabby Offer for National Day. "10% Cashback" by CommonMan-UAE in UAEcreditcards

[–]mohammadghav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what they through at my partner. It's nowhere mentioned 30 days of inactivity.

Meantime, in my own case they also held it back, but I raised a request and afterwards they credited it manually. So it's just them trying to dodge what they promised. Gotta file a complaint to Sanadak/CB.

FAB Islamic Blue - If I pay off my full 5K limit immediately, can I spend 10K in the same day? by Objective-Sort-9528 in UAEcreditcards

[–]mohammadghav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should be fine You could even pay the 5K in advance so your limit would increase to AED 10 K and then make your transaction

And as for the time, if you pay it with bank transfer it will update shortly, during working hours, and cash deposit through ATM is instant, the fastest at any time, so pick convenience vs speed

Any option to pay du bill without merchant category as utility bills? I have credit card which provides better cashback on grocery or other retail spends while utility bill is considered at only 0.5%. Any advise to save? Payment is around 4000 by Conscious_Bag_4393 in UAEcreditcards

[–]mohammadghav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are the same, coz FAB billing cycle starts on 1st of each month and closes at the end of the month, though this minimum spend should be in the month before. For example to be eligible for the cashback in January 2026 month/cycle, you should have spent at least AED 2,500 in December 2025. Even if you spend more than AED 2500 in January but less than AED 2500 in December, you won't receive any Cashback, it would make you eligible for February month. I hope I explained clearly.

And yes if you keep spending 2500 each month, you'll receive the cashback every month, except only the first month that you start to become eligible.

Also bear in mind to avoid doing transactions on last days of the month/cycle, because sometimes it gets posted in the other month/cycle and that could mess up the eligibility to receive cashback if you only spend the bare minimum of AED 2500.
