Focusing on digital convenience and security, Mastercard is delivering more perks in more markets for premium cardholders in the Asia Pacific region with a comprehensive online portal, hassle-free e-commerce insurance and enhanced benefits.

As people make a lasting shift to online spending, Mastercard has created a seamless and secure digital experience for Platinum, Titanium, World and World Elite cardholders wherever and whenever they choose. The journey begins right at home, where cardholders can shop online with peace of mind.

Mastercard’s e-commerce insurance protection automatically covers incomplete or non-delivery of items and the delivery of wrong or improperly functioning items from local and international online sellers. Mastercard has expanded this benefit to more markets and offers coverage of up to US$1,000 per year. Cardholders get the convenience of a digital claims process, eliminating the need to send paper forms.

Via the Mastercard Travel and Lifestyle Services portal, cardholders can access special deals, redeem lifestyle benefits and search, book and pay for trips all in one place. Certain card types can also enjoy digital access to Priority Pass airport lounges and complimentary data roaming when travel resumes.

Cardholders can make direct reservations and enjoy 1-for-1 deals at more than 400 restaurants with Mastercard’s One Dines Free program in 10 markets. Premium credit cardholders can also book staycations, explore local activities and enjoy up to 10% discounts with Mastercard online travel partners Agoda and Klook.

“While global travel has yet to return to normal, there is pent-up demand for when the time comes and great opportunities in the meantime for domestic tourism in many places,” said Sandeep Malhotra, Executive Vice President, Products & Innovation, Asia Pacific, Mastercard. “With these enhanced benefits in Asia Pacific, Mastercard is offering a range of digital tools and solutions to help premier cardholders shop, pay and travel with even more safety, security and flexibility.”

For card issuers, the expanded program enhances benefits that can be offered to cardholders and improves the overall cardholder journey as part of Mastercard’s industry-leading initiatives to drive digital commerce with frictionless and secure payment experiences.
