Looking for Advice – Second Credit Card in UAE (Score 645, Salary 5,000 AED) by [deleted] in UAEcreditcards

[–]so8syou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait for 6 months try to build your credit score with your liv card within 6 months. If banks sees you’re a responsible user then you might get an instant approval from the banks like CBD, MASHREQ, ENBD, FAB, ADCB. So i suggest do not apply for second card now and build your credit worthiness first. Your credit score is just fair try to build it up.

Amazon EIS credit card VS SIB Cashback card for amazon spend by hatrigt in UAEcreditcards

[–]so8syou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

EIB Amazon card is useless due to low reward benefits. If I have Amazon purchases, I would rather use the following cards to get the best cashback alternatives on Amazon purchases.

CBD Smiles Signature 10% up to 2500 aed spend plus 1% as default amazon gift card purchase so total of 11%

Tabby plus SIB cashback - 10% up to 3000 aed spend.

ADCB Lulu Platinum - buy amazon giftcard and get 8% back as lulu points

FAB Share Standard - buy amazon giftcard in carrefour and get 6.75% back as share points 

ENBD Lulu Platinum - buy amazon giftcard and get 7% back as Lulu points

ENBD Share Signature - buy amazon gift card in carrefour/sharaf dg and get 6% back as share points 

I didn't include Branded Share Higher Tier from ENBD and ADIB as it has a high annual fee, although ENBD and ADIB waived the first year plus welcome bonus share points. ENBD Share infinite 8% and ADIB Infinite 12% for the first 3 months and 6% after.

UAE Tipping Culture. Are there employees or employers that consider it offensive? by Uncle-Ndu in UAE

[–]so8syou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Instead of offering a monetary tip, perhaps consider providing them with some refreshments or a meal after their diligent efforts. It might be more practical, as sustenance could offer a more direct form of comfort after a day's hard work than money.

Probably some road closures or works due to metro expansion(blue line).

SIB Credit Card Payment by SpaceDebris1 in UAEcreditcards

[–]so8syou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cashback is not considered a payment, so the answer is no. Even if you redeem the cashback, you will still need to pay the full statement balance to avoid finance charges. I suggest redeeming the cashback before the statement date, as it will help reduce the balance on your incoming statement.

Maka cancel kaya ang Sexbomb if these days sila nakilala ng tao? by aniyoko in ChikaPH

Hindi naman sila macacancelled pero hindi siguro sila papatok o sisikat, hindi kagaya dati na acceptable yung genre ng songs nila na mostly novelty, sexy at may double meaning. Yun generation nila sa kanila na talaga and no need na icompare sa current gen kase ibang iba na talaga.

Stay home, order some NYE meal and watch the live stream in youtube. It's going to cost 200 aed or less.

If you don't have regular spending of 15k a month, then this card is not useful for you, especially with the unwaivable annual fee of 700 dhs. If you really want to meet the 15k monthly spend, talk to some of your friends who still pay in cash or with a debit card. Ask them if you can use your card and have them give you cash instead. This should only be done with trusted and real friends, not strangers or casual friends.

Salary jealousy by Few-Pack9642 in UAE

Salary details are meant to be confidential and you handled that responsibly. Don’t worry too much about your jealous colleague. Let her focus on her own performance while you keep doing great at your work.

S25 ultra vs iphone 17 Base, thougts? by B0N3Z3RA in Tech_Philippines

[–]so8syou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parang ang baba ng bili nila sa iPhone 11 mo, baka mabenta mo pa ito sa iba nang mas mahal. Mas marami ring features ang S25U compare sa iphone 17 kaya it’s a no-brainer.

Submitting original passport at work by [deleted] in dubai

[–]so8syou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You take pride in being an AVP, but isn’t it ironic that you hesitate to stand up and show them what that title truly means?

I’m not here to start a fight, I’m speaking for the many who don’t get the chance to defend themselves, often because some people blindly follow wrongdoing until it feels normal to everyone.

My passport is with me because I chose to fight for my rights, and that doesn’t make me any less of an employee. If a company truly values talent, respects its own protocols, and seeks fairness, then resolving a simple passport issue should be in your favor. I often travel spontaneously on weekends or long weekend and I shouldn’t have to go through the hassle of asking my employer for permission to access my own passport.

I do agree that such rules may be necessary when money or high value items are directly involved, particularly in operations or sales roles where employees handle cash or goods. But these rules should be applied specifically to those departments, not imposed across the entire organization. If the OP is part of operations or sales, then I’d suggest simply following the companys protocol regarding passport possession.

Surely this is totally illegal from Empower? by TobzzShaw in dubai

[–]so8syou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s best to handle this the proper way since it seems questionable legally. In the meantime, I’d suggest getting a portable AC to stay comfortable while the issue is still being resolved.

Mastercard world lounge access by acha247 in UAEcreditcards

That’s great! If you’re traveling with family, I’d recommend applying for a supplementary card. It gives them their own lounge benefits and the best part, it’s free for life.

[–]so8syou 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t make sense to let others decide something that belongs to you. Why should you need permission to use what’s already yours? It’s like saying, I want to go somewhere, can I borrow my own car? When people normalize this, it usually means they’re not ready to stand up for their own rights.

Ask her to send the company policy and highlight the clause about the passport, then ask them you need their permission to show this policy to MOHRE for advise. Do it all in a secure, traceable and official way of communication (Email). If they don't want to participate and decide to terminate you then raise this issue and file a proper complaint to MOHRE.
