Pros and Cons of Cashback Credit Cards

Pros of Cashback Credit Cards   

Earn While You Spend 
Cashback cards give you back a percentage of your spending, helping you save on groceries, dining, fuel, and online shopping.

Simple and Easy to Use
Unlike travel miles or loyalty points, cashback is straightforward—your earned amount is either credited to your account or deducted from your bill.

Excellent option to save on everyday expenses
If you frequently use your card for routine spending, a cashback card can help you save without any complicated rewards systems.

Welcome Offers and specific promotional deals
Some banks offer special promotions, higher cashback for specific categories, or introductory rewards for new cardholders.

Seamless Redemption
Unlike reward points that require tracking and redemption, cashback is automatically applied to your account. Well, in most banks it is, however some banks may have a manual redemption process too, customers should understand this better prior to signing up.

Some Cards come without Annual Fee or with a first-year waiver.
Many Top 10 cashback credit cards in UAE come with no annual fee, making them a cost-effective option.

Cons of Cashback Credit Cards

 Cashback Limits
Many banks cap the cashback you can earn each month, meaning you may not get unlimited rewards.

High Interest on Unpaid Balances
If you don’t pay your bill in full each month, interest charges can cancel out your cashback savings.

Minimum Spend Requirements
Some cards require a minimum monthly spend to qualify for cashback, which may not suit all users.

Not All Transactions Earn Cashback
Payments for government services, fees, or certain bills may not qualify for cashback. In addition, there are certain low category transactions ( government, utility bills etc.,) which typically earn lesser cashback rates.

Annual Fees on Premium Cards
Some premium cashback cards come with an annual fee, which may reduce the overall savings if you don’t spend enough to justify the cost.

Foreign Transaction Fees
If you use your card internationally, foreign currency conversion fees (typically 2-3%) may reduce or cancel out your cashback benefits.
