Mastercard announced today a new premium tier in their ‘World’ card lineup called ‘World Legend Mastercard’. The card rounds out their portfolio of cards with World, World Elite, and now the World Legend Mastercard targeting higher spending customers.
They also announced the unveiling of a new suite of elevated benefits – The Mastercard Collection – across its World, World Elite and newly created World Legend Mastercard cards.
Benefits include priority reservations at sought-after restaurants, premium seating for in-demand music/sporting events, fast-track security lanes at over 30 airports, and access to more than 1,350 airport lounges.
Our Verdict
The World Legend line seems to be the Mastercard answer to the Visa Infinite line. I’m not seeing much detail into any of the new benefits for World cards or what the benefits will be on the World Legend cards. It’s unlikely to be anything too exciting on the broad Mastercard level. Of course, each bank will create custom benefits for each of their cards.
