Frequently Asked Questions

Is the annual fee worth it?

The AED 1,575 annual fee and AED 2,098.95 joining fee are worth it if you spend heavily on travel at 12 points per AED and use the premium perks like lounge access, airport transfers, and golf. If you spend mostly on dining, groceries, or utilities at only 0.25 points per AED, the fees will likely outweigh your rewards.

How does the welcome bonus work?

You can earn up to 150,000 Voyager Miles when you spend AED 70,000 within your first three billing statements, which is approximately 90 days. This bonus can help offset the high joining and annual fees if you meet the spend requirement.

What is the minimum salary to apply?

You need a minimum monthly salary of AED 25,000 to be eligible for the Emirates NBD Voyager World Elite Credit Card.

Can I use this card abroad?

Yes, you can use this card internationally, but be aware of the 3.14% foreign exchange markup on transactions in currencies other than AED. The card is best suited for travel bookings rather than everyday international spending.

Does this card earn on school or university fees?

Yes, education spending earns 0.25 points per AED, the same low rate as dining, groceries, and utilities. This is not a strong category for this card.
