I'm going to Vancouver on Friday or Saturday, got the Capital One card to avoid FOREX fees.
Don't know if your positioning flights before and after the AONE5 is a return ticket or not
but do you realise that you are not required to return to Saudi at the end of the RTW ticket - anywhere in the Middle East will do
and that way you can get to visit another place (e.g. MCT)
