How we research, verify, and stand behind every figure on DubaiPoints.

Independence

DubaiPoints is editorially independent. No bank, card issuer, airline, hotel chain, or merchant has any authority over what we cover, how we rate it, or what we publish. We do not accept payment to feature, rank, or recommend any product.

Where we earn affiliate commission on a reader application — we do not yet, but the architecture is in place — every such link is marked with an asterisk (*) and a footnote linking to How we make money.

Verification

Every credit-card review, salary-transfer offer, and rate figure on this site is checked against at least one of the following:

• The issuing bank's official product page.
• The issuing bank's published Schedule of Charges PDF.
• The bank's customer service or relationship-manager confirmation, where the public-facing page is ambiguous.

Every card review and salary-transfer offer page carries a "Last verified: [date]" stamp. If a stamp is more than 90 days old, treat the figures as approximate and verify directly with the bank before applying.

AED-first

Every monetary figure on DubaiPoints is in UAE dirhams (AED) unless explicitly noted. Foreign-currency examples are converted at the rate of the publish date and labelled accordingly. We do not use USD as a default currency on a UAE-focused site.

UAE eligibility front and centre

A credit-card recommendation is incomplete without three pieces of UAE-specific eligibility information: minimum salary, salary-transfer status, and residency requirement. Every card review on this site displays all three, sourced from the issuing bank.

Sources

Every card review cites at least one source URL — typically the bank's product page and the relevant Schedule of Charges PDF. Where we cite an external publication for a figure (a regulator notice, a news report, a comparison page), the source is linked inline.

Corrections

If you spot an error, email info@dubaipoints.ae. We update the affected page, refresh the "Last verified" date, and — for material corrections to a published figure or recommendation — note the correction at the foot of the page. A public corrections log will be published once we have one to populate.

Authorship and AI

Every published article is written and edited by a named human editor. We use AI-assisted research and drafting tools internally, but every figure, recommendation, and verdict is reviewed by a human editor before publication. AI-generated content is never published unedited.

Not financial advice

DubaiPoints is a journalism and consumer-information site. We are not regulated by the DFSA or the UAE Central Bank and do not provide financial advice tailored to your individual circumstances. Use this site as one input among many; verify with the bank, and consult a regulated adviser for personalised guidance.
