For a start, it’s noteworthy that the World and World Elite cards provide some of the highest benefit levels and the most relevant perks for today’s modern and affluent consumer. From travel to dining, sports and shopping, there is something for everyone.

Fitness is at the forefront of most people’s minds now more than ever, with multiple studies pointing towards the benefits of sustainable and healthy living. With the refreshed card programmes, did you know that enthusiasts can enjoy a year-long membership to Centr, a personalised digital health and fitness program curated by Chris Hemsworth? Talk about achieving those wellness goals.

And who doesn’t love exclusive travel perks and escapades, such as access to incredible golfing experiences worldwide? In fact, World Elite cardholders enjoy complimentary green fees at 74 premium golf clubs, while World cardholders receive up to a 50 per cent mark down on green fees at 42 premium golf clubs globally.

Add that to the ability to access airport lounges with Priority Pass, make arrangements for all travel needs on the fly with Mastercard’s Airport Concierge & Destination Limo services, and enjoy special access to premium benefits on hotels, car rentals and flight bookings with preferred partners Agoda and Klook, and one can see why the benefits of these card programmes are more pronounced and relevant in this day and age.

Did we mention that World Elite cardholders can stay connected with complimentary global data roaming by Flexiroam which provides access to over 580 telcos in over 150 countries around the world, alongside purchase protection and travel insurance?

Closer to home, Mastercard World and World Elite cardholders can relish one month of HBO Go. From the latest blockbusters to iconic shows and movies such as Game of Thrones, Dune and The Batman, cardholders can kick back and relax with the latest and greatest in entertainment.

It doesn’t stop here. Cardholders can dine or commute with just a few clicks, as they take advantage of exclusive vouchers and codes from GrabFood and ComfortDelGro’s CDG Zig app. Basically, one can wind down and let their card do all the work for them. Literally.

Health continues to be a key priority for all, and the World Elite card also goes a long way to provide cardholders with peace of mind, as it offers access to teleconsultation, medicine delivery, and medical advice for non-emergency medical concerns through Digital Health by Allianz Partners.

Finally, cardholder safety and security are, as always, a priority, and Mastercard has you covered. With the World and World Elite programmes, one can experience the best that life has to offer anytime and anywhere in the world, all while keeping safe with Mastercard ID Theft Protection.

The feature allows cardholders to proactively monitor and be alerted to instances of identity theft. This gives users peace of mind that Mastercard’s comprehensive security programme monitors their card usage for unusual behaviour, notifying them when suspicious activity is flagged and providing full assistance should they require help.
