If you live in London, you will presumably have seen advertising for the MasterCard ‘Priceless London’ events programme over the past couple of years.

If you don’t live in London, you won’t have seen it. And even if you do, you might now know that ‘Priceless London’ members get access to a range of interesting travel discounts.

You can sign up for ‘Priceless London’ here. You will need to have a UK-issued MasterCard, from any issuer.

The travel deals can be found here. Some are restricted to World Elite MasterCard holders, which are issued by a small number of banks and usually carry a hefty fee, eg Coutts. Most are open to all, however.

You can access:

10% off hotel bookings at lastminute.com

10% off airport concierge services

Membership of the ‘Small Luxury Hotels of the World’ loyalty scheme at ‘Loved’ status (usually requires 1 stay)

£10 promotional code when you join the Hailo black cab service
