Managing Editor Mastercard is launching “The Mastercard Collection,” a selection of new benefits available to credit cards in three specific Mastercard tiers: World, World Elite and the upcoming World Legend tier.
Mastercard Collection benefits
The Mastercard Collection offers access to:
- Restaurant reservations and exclusive dining experiences, such as behind-the-scenes kitchen tours and multi-course tasting menus. Participating restaurants are located in France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.
- Tickets to concerts and sporting events, including presales and premium seating.
- Mastercard-branded fast-track security lanes at select international airports. (This is mostly available to World Elite and World Legend cardholders, but some locations may also offer this benefit to World cardholders, too.) Also included is entry to the more than 1,350 Mastercard-branded airport lounges in 147 countries, and new Mastercard-exclusive dining spaces in select airports. The first locations will be in São Paolo and Mexico City.
World Legend Mastercard benefits
World Legend Mastercard is rolling out to U.S. cardholders in the third quarter of 2025 and will debut internationally later on. (The Citi Strata Elite Card, launched in late July 2025, is the first U.S. credit card to have World Legend features.)
Details on specific benefits weren’t available at the time of this writing, but Mastercard's existing World Elite tier already offers discounts with select merchants (including Lyft, Booking.com and Instacart, among others), concierge services, a statement credit toward transit purchases in select cities, and more.
