The pandemic definitely changed the way the world does things — from the way we live and carry out daily routines, to the ways we dine, shop, and travel.mastercard
According to research conducted by Mastercard®, the pandemic has seen people redefining how they experience things with an emphasis on self-enrichment. They want to do things with their family, things they’ve never done before, and do it all in places they’ve never been before. Over 50 per cent of respondents said they valued timed outdoors away from their devices, while 64 per cent admitted to indulging in various forms of self-care.
In short, people around the world want to create experiences both for themselves and their loved ones. Especially those that leave lasting impressions long after the moments are over. Malaysians, interestingly, are particularly focused on their health and well-being.
With these priorities in mind, Mastercard has enhanced its World Mastercard™ and World Elite™ Mastercard® programmes to bring more personalised range of services, rewards, lifestyle privileges, and experiences whether in Malaysia or abroad.
For the health conscious
Mastercard World and World Elite cardholders receive various health benefits to keep them on track with their health and wellness goals. For instance, cardholders get a one-year membership to Centr: By Chris Hemsworth, an app and workout programme designed by Chris Hemsworth’s very own team of health, fitness, and wellness experts.
Eligible World Elite cardholders also get to enjoy unlimited complimentary medical teleconsultation and medicine delivery provided by Allianz and MyDoc. Avid golfers among World Elite cardholders are also entitled to complimentary green fees in 74 premium golf clubs across the world while World cardholders get 50 per cent off green fees at 42 premium golf clubs around Asia.
