Which credit card is best at Starbucks in the UAE?

It depends on the outlet and the cards you hold. Kredit reads Starbucks as dining spending and Kredit Nearby shows the card that earns most at the exact outlet, ranking the cards saved in your wallet first.

Does the best card change between Starbucks outlets?

It can. Outlets of one brand are not always set up the same way by their payment provider, so check the outlet in Kredit Nearby before you pay.
