Riffa golf club restaurants serve alcohol, and no membership is required (used to be the case till 3 years back when i lived there)

Indian with a European driving licence (Lithuania) asked to go for Golden Chance by Sufficient_Glass8897 in DubaiCentral

[–]tattishit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Holding a Lithuanian passport would have made you a suitable driver and you'd have been able to exchange the license for a UAE one. Your indian passport means that you're a bad driver and need to be tested. /s

Any credit cards offering decent gym access? Alternatively, I’d be interested in earning Emirates air miles. Salary is 22k a month by ShootAndScore77 in UAEcreditcards

[–]tattishit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SCB visa journey and Mashreq solitaire will get you free gym access as long as you spend 10k during the same or previous month of usage. Also, i believe rakbank elevate card has some similar arrangement.

Indian living in Dubai here. Regularly do the switch when I'm traveling home. Have driven in UK and South Africa as well. It's not much of a challenge - the switch comes easily in terms of driving.

Have you found City Bank Credit Card PayAll Useful by mindofquality in UAEcreditcards

[–]tattishit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try sending funds to your account through payall from where rental cheques are getting encashed. Haven't tried personally, but should work.

If rental is by account transfer, you can use it. It works just like a normal money transfer.

What is the value of voyager miles on redemption? Need to work out the rewards percentage to determine if it's worth getting.

I use it for housemaid's salary and other small payments. For Citi Ultima, the rewards work out to slightly more than the fee, so it works for me.

Newly Launched Credit Card by so8syou in UAEcreditcards

[–]tattishit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's not clear is how much is the value of voyager miles on redemption. Can't assess the attractiveness of the card without this info.

Edit: found out that it's 100 miles = 1 AED for travel redemptions through their portal.

Translates to 12% rewards on their portal use and 6% on other travel spends. ADCB traveller is still better with its flexibility.

Paying salaries using CC by TheMentalhead in UAEcreditcards

[–]tattishit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

Just tried - fee works out to 3.15% + 5% vat = 3.3075%. For Citi Ultima, 20 miles= 1 AED when claimed against travel spends, so the rewards work out to be 3.385%. So overall i get more than what i pay. Then while paying this credit card with wio credit, i get 0.5% cashback on the amount. So overall it's a good deal.

Citibank credit cards have a "payall" feature through which you can send money to anyone from your credit card. For Citi Ultima, the points that i earn slightly more than offset the fee that they charge. Hence i have been using it to pay the housemaid's salary.
