Looking into credit card, most likely between emirates nbd Bonvoy card or the Emirates offering. Anything better out there? What has been your experience. My understanding is you can convert the emirates points to Bonvoy? Not sure if the same works Bonvoy —> emirates.

Don’t go for emirates cards, value for money is shit in those cards. Go for a bonvoy or cash back card

It is in Saudi, ENBD there

You can do Bonvoy to EK, but it is not one to one ratio and the value in $ is reduced. Ideally you use ur points for stays

Bonvoy right now has a solid welcome offer - 200k points if you spend $10k usd in the first 3 months. 100k even if you don’t
