Mastercard World Elite Review

I like luxury credit cards · 02:41 PM

The Mastercard World Elite credit cards are the top tier offered by Mastercard right now in the US. This is different from the World Mastercard that is a notch below. Benefits on the Elite version include an expert concierge available 24/7/365 for you. They can handle dinner reservations, entertainment request for concert tickets and anything else you need help with.

Like Amex does the Mastercard World Elite gives you travel benefits, upgrades and special accommodations through the company they partner with, Virtuoso Travel, who if you don't know is a luxury high end travel network which offers their services invitation only.

They also have you special arrangements with luxury retailers, spas/salons and all kinds of services that you would expect with the good life.

Here is a picture of World Elite Mastercard,

And here are the cards available right now for it,
Saks World Elite MasterCard
Sotheby's World Elite MasterCard
Ameriprise World Elite MasterCard
Emigrant Direct World Elite MasterCard
Morgan Stanley World Elite MasterCard
Citi World Elite MasterCard

I have considered getting one of these but first would like to read some first hand World Elite MasterCard reviews from real users. I don't want to apply for a World Elite Mastercard though unless they are as good as they claim to be. The information I wrote above about the card benefits are things I have been able to dig up from Mastercard and across the net but I wasn't able to find any personal reviews for the World Elite. I'm happy I found Credit Card Forum this is exactly the type of site I was looking for.

Personally, I can't give you any World Elite MasterCard reviews because I've never had one.

I looked up the Saks Fifth Avenue World Elite MasterCard to browse over the benefits. The one that really stood out to me was the free roadside assistance. Although I would imagine that, like the Amex Platinum, it only applies to limited circumstances- like if you're more than 100 miles from home. As far as annual fees go the World Elite Ameriprise carries a $150 annual fee and I did not see what the fee was on the Saks card.

There really is no reason to have more than one premium credit card and paying an annual fee for each of them. All you need is one because they all offer essentially the same services.

It sure looks cool. I don't know if World Elite is any good or not though.

It seems that the Saks card is the only no fee World Elite.
