I didn’t start traveling with credit cards in mind.
But over time, they became part of how I move.
Not for spending more — but for making things easier.
What I Actually Use
I keep it simple.
FAB Cashback
Mashreq Cashback
RAK Titanium
These are the ones I actually use.
Lounge Access
FAB and RAK give me lounge access.
That alone makes a difference, especially for long flights or standby situations.
Instead of waiting at the gate, you have a space to sit, eat, and just reset.
Mastercard Travel Pass
I use Mastercard Travel Pass.
Easy access to lounges without overcomplicating it.
Works well with how I travel.
Payments Abroad
I use these cards for most transactions.
Less cash, more convenience.
No need to think too much every time I pay.
Cards I Don’t Use Much
CBD Supersaver
ENBD Platinum
I have them, but I don’t really use them often.
Once you find what works, you tend to stick to it.
What Matters to Me
I don’t chase too many features.
Just:
Lounge access
Ease of use
Consistency
That’s enough.
Over time, you realize you don’t need the “best” card.
You just need the ones that fit your system.
