Which card is better for what
Four answers compare ENBD Voyager World Elite and ENBD Darna Visa Infinite on general everyday spend; dining and food delivery; travel and flights; spending abroad. Each is priced on a month of its own, because a household that spends heavily on one thing does not spend the same total as one that does not. Within an answer both cards see the identical month.
Spending abroad prices AED 6,360 of the total as non-AED and takes each card's foreign transaction fee off the annual result. Two answers price air travel (travel and flights; spending abroad) and count the airport benefits a traveller uses, each at that card's own published allowance. Every other benefit these cards carry is worth nothing to this household and counts as nothing.
Those months run from AED 21,200 to AED 30,200 a month, and every answer states the one it was priced on. They are the same curated spend profiles every comparison page uses, so the household behind an answer here is the household behind it anywhere.
Annual totals are net of each card's annual fee: AED 1,575 for ENBD Voyager World Elite and AED 1,575 for ENBD Darna Visa Infinite. ENBD Voyager World Elite needs a salary of AED 25,000 a month and ENBD Darna Visa Infinite AED 30,000.
