One of many attractive perks of the new Maybank World Elite Mastercard is the opportunity to fly business class with a companion on Qatar Airways to Paris or London for the price of one. Cardmembers are automatically eligible for this exclusive reward upon spending RM250,000 with the Maybank World Elite Mastercard. Notably, Qatar Airways was recently recognised as the World’s Best Airline and Best Business Class at the 2024 Skytrax Awards, making this offer even more enticing for travellers who seek the finest standards in air travel.

In addition to premium flights, cardholders may also take advantage of a complimentary night stay at either the Radisson Blu Hotel in Leicester Square, London, or the Hotel Napoleon in Paris, provided they book a minimum of a one night stay. This convenience ensures members unwind in style during their travels.

Dining is another area where the Maybank World Elite Mastercard shines. At Marriott Bonvoy establishments, cardmembers enjoy 40 per cent off on meals for up to ten dinners. For those looking to indulge further, the Mastercard Held Tables programme offers priority access at 10,000 of the world’s best dining establishments, including Michelin-starred restaurants like Per Se in New York and Carbone in Hong Kong.
