Understanding Stake's investment tiers: Your path to better rewards

    We built a tiered membership program that rewards you for investing more: five tiers, from Intro to Prestige, each unlocking stronger cashback, bigger referral bonuses, and better perks as your portfolio grows.

    You can start with AED 500 or invest six figures. Either way, there's a tier that matches where you are and rewards you for moving up. You can also check your tier directly in the app.

    Learn about our investment tiers directly on the app.

    The five tiers at a glance

    Tier Investment (past 12 months) Referral bonus Cashback: properties Cashback: funds Standout perk
    Intro No minimum AED 150 No payment processing fees
    Plus AED/SAR 5,000+ AED 200 RentReinvest unlocked
    Pro AED/SAR 30,000+ AED 300 1% 0.5% Cashback begins
    Elite AED/SAR 100,000+ AED 450 2% 0.75% First access 
    Prestige AED/SAR 300,000+ AED 600 3% 1% Personal relationship manager

     

    Intro: your first step to real estate investing

    With AED 500, you can own a share of Dubai real estate or a Saudi property fund and start earning passive income from day one. We waive payment processing fees at Intro, so more of your money goes into your investment instead of to fees.

    Refer a friend, and you earn AED 150.

    Plus: RentReinvest kicks in

    Invest AED or SAR 5,000 in a rolling 12-month period, and you move up to Plus automatically.

    This is where RentReinvest kicks in: it takes your rental income and puts it straight back into new investments, so your portfolio keeps growing without extra work on your part.

    Your referral bonus also rises, to AED 200.

    Pro: earning cashback on your investments

    Pro is where cashback starts: 1% on properties, 0.5% on funds. Invest AED 10,000 in a property and you get AED 100 back; invest in a fund and you get AED 50.

    Run that cashback through RentReinvest and you lower your effective cost while speeding up your returns.

    Your referral bonus climbs to AED 300 too.

    Elite: first access to opportunities

    Elite gets you first look at new funds before they open to other tiers, so you're first in line on opportunities other investors haven't seen yet.

    Cashback also doubles here, to 2% on properties and 0.75% on funds. For example, that's AED 200 back on a AED 10,000 property, or AED 75 on a fund investment.

    Prestige: the ultimate investment experience

    Prestige is our top tier, and it pays the most: AED 3,000 cashback on a AED 100,000 property investment, or AED 1,000 on a fund investment. You also get:

    • A personal relationship manager for one-on-one support
    • Investor dinners with Stake's team and other high-net-worth investors

    Reaching Prestige tier doesn't automatically mean you qualify for a UAE Golden Visa. The two are measured differently: Prestige is based on a rolling 12-month total (AED 300,000+), while Golden Visa eligibility is based on total invested value (AED 2M, about $545,000) spread across multiple properties. That threshold brings renewable 10-year residency, family sponsorship, and access to UAE banking.

    If residency is your goal, track your cumulative portfolio value against the AED 2M mark, confirm your eligibility directly with us, and see our guide to the UAE Golden Visa program for the full requirements.

    Making the most of your tier

    Your tier is based on your total investment over the past 12 months, and it updates automatically as you invest more. Check it any time in the app. Because it's a rolling window, consistent investing matters more than one large deposit.

    From Plus tier onward, you can reinvest your cashback and referral bonuses through RentReinvest, compounding your growth over time.

    What are Stake's investment tiers?

    Stake has five tiers: Intro, Plus, Pro, Elite, and Prestige, based on your total investment over a rolling 12-month period. Each tier up unlocks a bigger referral bonus, and from Pro onward, higher cashback on properties and funds.

    Do tiers apply across Stake Properties, Stake Funds, and StakeOne?

    Yes, your tier is based on your total investment activity over the past 12 months. For exactly how each product, including StakeOne, counts toward that total, check the app, we can't confirm every product's treatment here.

    Can I lose my tier status?

    Yes. Tiers are calculated on a rolling 12-month basis, so your tier moves down as well as up if your investment pace drops below the next tier's threshold.

    Is cashback the same as investment returns?

    No. Cashback is a loyalty reward on top of your investment. It's separate from any rental income or capital appreciation you earn from the property or fund itself.

    Does reaching Prestige tier automatically qualify me for a Golden Visa?

    No. Prestige tier needs AED/SAR 300,000+ invested in the past 12 months. The Golden Visa route needs AED 2,000,000 in total invested value, a much higher bar. Check your cumulative portfolio value, not just your current tier, if residency is your goal.

    What is RentReinvest, and when does it unlock?

    RentReinvest unlocks at Plus tier (AED/SAR 5,000+ invested in a rolling 12-month period). It automatically puts your rental income back into new investments, and from Plus tier onward you can also reinvest cashback and referral bonuses through it, compounding your growth over time.
