From doorstep to destination: The quiet luxury of a credit card that handles it all
Once a simple payment method, the credit card has evolved into something far more dynamic. Today, it serves as a travel companion, a planning tool, and at times, a problem-solver. Among Visa's premium cards, Visa Infinite is designed not just for spending, but for enhancing every step of the traveller's journey. From hotel bookings and car rentals to access to airport lounges and exclusive offers, the Visa Infinite card handles the details that can often slow things down. With built-in protections, it also adds reassurance throughout the journey.
The value continues beyond travel. With concierge services, dining benefits, and enhanced security features, Visa Infinite offers practical support for both day-to-day convenience and memorable getaways. It's a credit card built to meet the needs of travelers who want reliability, comfort, and peace of mind – wherever they're going.
Visa Infinite goes beyond the definition of a premium credit card. It serves as a gateway to elevated living, supporting everything from once-in-a-lifetime travel to the ease of everyday experiences. Whether facilitating a dream vacation with your family, streamlining a business trip, or enhancing daily routines, the card operates as a discreet yet powerful tool that enriches every aspect of modern life.
Travel planning often comes with a long list of logistical challenges. Between coordinating bookings, navigating delays or cancellations, and juggling itineraries, it can quickly become overwhelming. Visa Infinite is designed to remove that friction. It acts as your seamless support system, working behind the scenes to eliminate friction so cardholders can truly enjoy the journey without the usual stress.
For those planning a family trip to Disneyland Paris or the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London, Visa's partnership with BookingBash, the region's first subscription-based e-ticketing platform for global attractions, provides exclusive access and discounts to top destinations.
Getting there is not an issue either. Through partnerships with trusted providers such as Avis, SIXT, and GetTransfer, Visa Infinite cardholders receive special offers, enabling travelers to enjoy greater confidence behind the wheel.
When it comes to accommodations, the value continues. Visa Infinite cardholders enjoy complimentary rooms and offers through IHG Hotels, Booking.com and the Visa Luxury Hotel Collection (VLHC), which includes more than 900 handpicked properties around the world.
Smarter airports and smoother takeoffs
Frequent flyers, business travellers, or spontaneous adventurers alike benefit from Visa Infinite's airport advantages. With access to more than 1,300 airport lounges around the world, cardholders can step away from crowded terminals and relax in comfort. Lounge access is enabled through the Visa Airport Companion digital membership — a single tap opens the door to a more serene travel experience.
Goodbye to reaching the airport hours in advance. Cardholders can take advantage of Visa Infinite's partnership with DUBZ, offering discounted home check-in and luggage delivery services for cardholders. That means no more dragging bags through busy terminals, just show up, breeze through, and board with ease.
Concierge service that works around the clock
Last-minute change in plans? Forgot to make the reservation? Instead of running around, cardholders get the help they need, right when they need it.
Visa Infinite's 24/7 concierge service offers assistance when it is needed most, whether for restaurant recommendations, last-minute reservations, special gift arrangements, or travel coordination. Support is available via phone, email, WhatsApp, or through a fully responsive digital concierge portal, giving cardholders flexibility and convenience on the go. This high-touch service ensures that personal needs are met with minimal effort, even in the busiest of schedules.
Dining and entertainment made rewarding
In partnership with the 'xperience with the ENTERTAINER' app, Visa Infinite cardholders can access a wide array of buy-one-get-one-free offers and discounts across hundreds of retailers in the GCC.
These benefits extend beyond dining, covering entertainment venues, spas, wellness treatments, and lifestyle experiences. From fine-dining restaurants and family attractions to luxury pampering and weekend escapes, the program turns everyday outings into elevated, rewarding moments.
Security and peace of mind behind every transaction
Visa Infinite is founded on the belief that true luxury lies in peace of mind. The card provides a robust suite of protection features designed to function quietly and consistently, offering cardholders a sense of confidence at every stage of their journey.
Visa Infinite ensures a high level of security, no matter where cardholders are — at home or abroad — or what they are spending on. Many of its most valuable features work discreetly, supporting and safeguarding daily life without disruption.
Among these benefits is comprehensive travel insurance, which covers trip cancellations, medical emergencies, and lost baggage for journeys lasting up to 90 days. Purchase Protection offers reassurance against theft, accidental damage, or non-delivery of eligible items. Extended Warranty coverage doubles the repair period provided by original manufacturers.
In addition, Fraudulent Card Misuse Protection helps ensure cardholders are protected in the event of unauthorised transactions.
Visa's payment infrastructure is built for both speed, security and worldwide acceptance. Processing nearly 300,000 transactions every minute, Visa applies advanced analytics to each one, evaluating more than 500 unique attributes in real time at every single transaction made at any of Visa's 150 million merchant partners globally. If any irregularities are detected, the system flags them immediately. This allows potential fraud to be addressed without unnecessary disruptions, operating much like a digital security team working around the clock.
Underlying all of this is Visa's global commitment to innovation and trust. With more than $10 billion invested in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, every Visa Infinite transaction is protected by some of the most advanced technology in the world. This constant innovation ensures that financial details remain secure, no matter where or how cardholders choose to spend.
More than a card – A lifestyle companion
Travel is no longer just about the destination. From the moment plans are made to the moment you return home, Visa Infinite takes the friction out of the process. In a time when convenience matters as much as comfort, and flexibility is as valuable as luxury, Visa Infinite delivers both.
Whether you're navigating airports, booking the perfect stay, or simply trying to stay on top of your day, it's a quiet but capable companion that works in the background — so you can stay focused on the moments that matter most.
From seamless travel logistics to around-the-clock concierge services and industry-leading security features, Visa Infinite provides cardholders with access to a world that is more efficient, more rewarding, and far more effortless.
This is not just a means of payment — it is a passport to a life lived better.

Security and checkout friction remain top concerns for UAE online shoppers
Security concerns continue to be the leading frustration for 40 per cent of online shoppers in the UAE, while nearly 37 per cent are irritated by the need to manually enter card details during checkout, according to Visa's latest Checkout Friction Report released on Monday. Despite the rapid growth of eCommerce and significant strides in advancing the UAE's digital economy, the report highlights that retailers still have room to improve the online checkout experience and boost customer satisfaction. The findings are based on a survey of 2,016 online shoppers across the GCC, including the UAE, and delve into common pain points in the eCommerce checkout process that impact both consumer satisfaction and business performance. Key insights include: - One in three UAE respondents (33 per cent) shop online for groceries multiple times a week. - For categories like fashion, entertainment, and electronics, shopping frequency ranges from once to several times a month. 'Challenges in the online checkout process have direct implications for businesses—leading to lost revenue and hindering both customer acquisition and retention,' said Salima Gutieva, Visa's Vice President and Country Manager for the UAE. 'Today's consumers expect—and deserve—a seamless and secure eCommerce experience. That's why Visa is collaborating with partners to implement solutions like Click to Pay, which uses biometrics and tokenisation to address key pain points and enhance convenience. These improvements not only drive business results but also support the UAE government's vision of a secure, digital-first economy.' The report also underscores the importance of security in online transactions: - 58 per cent of consumers are concerned about fraud or hacking when storing card details across multiple websites. - 42 per cent have experienced fraud or security breaches firsthand. There is strong consumer demand for a more streamlined checkout process: - 65 per cent favour a single registration for online payments across all participating merchants. - 67 per cent would opt for biometric authentication (e.g., fingerprint or face ID) over traditional methods like passwords or OTPs. For businesses, the message is clear: simplifying and securing the checkout process can significantly influence consumer behaviour. - 82 per cent of respondents said they would shop online more frequently and complete more purchases if a one-click checkout option were available. - 66 per cent expressed a high likelihood of using 'Click to Pay with Biometrics' if offered by online retailers. The UAE eCommerce market is projected to reach $12.28 billion in 2025, with expectations to grow to $21.18 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 11.52 per cent, according to Mordor Intelligence. The number of eCommerce users is expected to reach 5.7 million by 2029, with a user penetration rate of 49.6 per cent in 2025, increasing to 58 per cent by 2029.

UAE-Syria travel: Emirates to restart flights to Damascus
Emirates is set to reintroduce flights to Damascus from July 16, after operations were suspended to the Syrian capital in 2012. The return of services follow a comprehensive evaluation in conjunction with the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority. The airline will initially start with three weekly services on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday, with plans to expand to four weekly flights from August 2 with an additional flight on Saturday. Emirates will expand its Damascus services to daily operations, effective October 26. The airline's services to Damascus will operate with a 302-seater Boeing 777-200LR and is planned to depart Dubai as EK 913 at 1200, arriving in Damascus International Airport at 2.10pm local time. The return flight, EK 914 will depart Damascus at 4.30pm, arriving in Dubai at 8.30pm local time. The flights will advance UAE's efforts to strengthen bilateral ties and support Syrian aspirations to rebuild and attract foreign investment across key sectors such as energy, construction and agriculture. Emirates customers flying to and from Damascus will also benefit from the airline's codeshare partnership with flydubai, which will complement its flight schedule and provide more options and convenience when flying in and out of the Syrian capital. 'Re-establishing air travel and connectivity is also good news for our customers that make up the expansive Syrian diaspora across the Americas, Europe and the GCC, who are eager to fly back home and reconnect to their roots, and leverage their knowledge, skills, expertise and resources in ongoing development efforts," said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group. The UAE and Syria's trade volumes reached $680 million (Dh2.5 billion) in 2024, a 23 per cent increase over the previous year, and the new flights will further stimulate vital trade ties. The UAE's thriving Syrian community of over 350,000 nationals have played an integral role in the UAE's prosperity, contributing through entrepreneurial ventures and skilled expertise while further enriching the country's vibrant cultural tapestry. Emirates commenced services to Damascus in 1988, and prior to suspending operations in 2012 the airline carried over 2.1 million passengers in and out of Syria. The airline currently flies to 13 cities in the Middle East/GCC, serving the region with a total of 191 weekly flights.
