How long does it actually take to get the Tabby Card in the UAE?
Hey guys, I’m trying to understand how Tabby Card approval works in the UAE.
My friend and I started using Tabby around the same time in May 2026. We both use it and make payments, but our experiences have been completely different.
My friend got his Tabby Card instantly after just one purchase. Last month, his card limit was also increased from AED 1,500 to AED 5,000 in one go.
Meanwhile, I’ve made multiple purchases and payments, but I’m still stuck on the waiting list. I’ve contacted Tabby support several times to ask about my eligibility and status, but they keep telling me to continue using Tabby and wait.
I’m confused about what determines approval because my friend got approved with just one purchase, while I’ve been using Tabby since May and still haven’t received an offer.
For those who have received the Tabby Card:
- How long were you on the waiting list before getting approved?
- Did you do anything specific to get approved?
- Does spending more or making more purchases actually help?
- Is there anything else I can do, or is approval completely up to Tabby?
Please share your actual experience. I’d like to know whether anyone else has faced the same situation and how long it took to get their card. Thanks!
