    Does anyone have a link to the Mastercard World Elite benefits that come with the plus card?
    I can’t find any information.

    Thank you.

    I’m beginning to think that everyone who fell for this scam is embarrassed about having been hoodwinked.

    Certainly, if there’s anyone who’s received the card, knows about the benefits and is pleased about them, they seem to be keeping pretty quiet about it.

    I’ve cancelled mine, before receiving it. The misinformation about being able to downgrade after the initial three month spend period, and the total lack of information about what “World Elite” benefits actually means for this card, has made me distrust the whole scheme.

    Added to which, if anything goes wrong with it (as so many are reporting) there seems to be minimal assistance from customer service.

    This is the second time I’ve clicked on a HfP promotion and neither has been a great success for me personally. I’m sure there will be many here who will say this particular promotion is wonderful. If so, fingers crossed they can answer your question about the World Elite benefits, and fingers crossed they are excellent benefits.

    Perhaps I’ll form a view if the damn card ever turns up…..

    Mine turned up..easy to set up in the app and was up and running in minutes. Paid my annual council tax bill and a few others. I’m already half way to the upgrade voucher 🙂

    The only downside so far is it doesn’t work with Google Pay on my phone.. but otherwise pretty seamless.

    Sure. So can YOU explain what the World Elite benefits are? And whether you can actually downgrade to the basic card after three months?

    Because so far, the answers to these questions seem to be blowing in the wind.

    So far an OK experience for me. Short delay receiving card but set up, website and app one of the better card experiences that I have had.

    As for World Elite, does seem strange that Barclays launch a card without clarity on this, but as I didn’t take World Elite into account in my decision to apply, happy to wait and see.

    Agreed. I’ve no idea what the benefits will be and I didn’t sign up for them. Be a bonus if some extra benefits come along but I’m not expecting them..

    I agree with you both. Any World Elite benefits would just be an added bonus for me as I would’ve gotten this card regardless.
