ADNOC outlets use MCC 5541, Service Stations ( with or without ancillary services), which Kredit reads as fuel spending. Kredit has verified that code from real transaction data.
Every ADNOC outlet uses this code, which Kredit reads as fuel spending.
The reward a card pays at ADNOC depends on the merchant category code, not on what the shop sells. The code is a four-digit number the outlet's payment provider assigns, and your bank reads it to decide whether a payment counts as fuel spending or as general spend.
ADNOC outlets post under MCC 5541, Service Stations ( with or without ancillary services). A card with a higher rate on fuel spending earns it there. A card whose bonus category is something else pays its base rate on the same purchase.
The code appears on your statement only after the payment posts, when the card is already chosen. Checking the outlet first moves that decision to before you pay.
The codes that most often catch UAE cardholders out are in our guide to MCC code issues.
At a ADNOC outlet verified under MCC 5541, UAB Platinum Credit Card earns up to 5.00%, capped at AED 500 / month. Modeled on AED 5,000 monthly spend; the cards you hold change the answer.
