Do you have a Mastercard World or World Elite credit card in your wallet?
There’s a chance you may have some new cardholder benefits that could save you some money.
Mastercard recently announced that it’s offering new or expanded cardholder benefits through partnerships with DoorDash, HelloFresh, Lyft, Fandango and ShopRunner.
In an April 1, 2021, news release, Mastercard indicates that the new perks will apply to World and World Elite consumer credit cards.
These cards span across a variety of issuers including Citi, Barclays and
Chase. Typically, cards with a Mastercard logo from any issuer will fall within three different benefits tiers: standard, World or World Elite.
If you’re not sure if your card qualifies, take a look at the logo on the cardto see if it indicates Mastercard World or World Elite membership.
You also can contact your card issuer to verify eligibility for these deals.
World and World Elite cardholders who are new to DashPass will get a free three-month membership. DashPass is DoorDash’s subscription program which provides unlimited free delivery and reduced service fees from thousands of restaurants, grocery and convenience stores on orders over $12. All DashPass members, new and existing, will automatically get a $5 discount on their first two orders each month when paying with a World or World Elite card.
World and World Elite cardholders will get 5% back on each HelloFresh purchase that can be used toward future HelloFresh orders. In addition, new customersreceive a discount on their first few orders.

Lyft has renewed its agreement as a partner with Mastercard. World and World Elite cardholders will automatically receive a $5 credit for every three rides taken in a calendar month. The credit will be automatically applied to the next ride, capped at one per month.
World Elite cardholders will now receive a $5 Fandango reward for future Fandango purchases for every$20 spent on digital movie rentals as well as movie ticket purchases. World and World Elite cardholders are provided free ShopRunner membership, valued at $79 per year, which provides free two-day shipping and free returns from over 100+ retailers.
This is a no-cost win for people carrying the Mastercard World or World Elite cards.
Money expert Clark Howard always warns against overvaluing a small credit card benefit when compared to the longterm merits of the card. So make sure you’re making your decisions based on things like APR, fees and purchase protections.
