I am a broken record when it comes to two things: One of them is my power brick. I have one and Lisa has my old one ;-)! I always charge it before I go anywhere as being able to get quick reliable power no matter where I am is not just convenient but a must to me.
The other thing I am a broken record about is cards. I have and get a bunch of them and hope you enjoyed the spread sheet that Lisa made to keep track of our cards. I have almost met the minimum spend on my latest round of cards and full points have posted for those already.
But on to today’s SWAG question and for a chance for you to win, not just any old power brick, but one that you can recharge the old fashioned way or in the sunlight – what a great idea. The one you will get is “white” not black btw but other than that is the same as the image above and clearly brand new. The rules, as always each week are HERE if you wish to read them.
The question I have is a simple one this week. What do you think is the BEST perk of the World MasterCard® ? To me, my absolute favorite, as I touched on this morning, is the the Barclaycard Arrival World MasterCard®. Not only is it offering 40,000 bonus points when you spend $1,000 (now $3000) on purchases in the first 90 days (that equates to $400 off your next travel redemption) but then you get Get 10% miles back when you redeem for travel!
So now it is your turn. Tell me any perk that the World MasterCard® family of cards offers that you like for a chance to WIN this week’s SWAG! – René

I agree. 40k and 10% is great.
I find the sign up bonus to be the best perk.
The 40,000 point bonus for sign up.
Not sure if this is considered a perk but they have given me the highest credit limit of all my cards.
40K bonus
I do not have this card and have been sitting on the sidelines for a while. 40k sign up bonus seems to be quite enticing for me to dip my feet in water. I think for starters like me, I will consider the initial bonus a big plus
In addition to the sign up bonus, I like the worldperks travel and life style services – handy when traveling.
40k signup bonus
Tripit subscription!
I love the free TripIt Pro membership!
The 2 points per dollar everywhere is awesome
40k signup bonus
the signup bonus!
40K sign up bonus for sure
The 40k bonus
I’d say the welcome bonus but that’s kinda a 1-time thing. So I’d say 2x plus another 10% back is really pretty decent. But I’d still rather have MQMs 😉
10% points back
I’m all about the bonus points. I’ve never used any card’s concierge services. Also nice to have a card that I can use when a place doesn’t take amex.
It’s always about the points. Sign up Bonus
Double points
I have the amex delta reserve but the 40K bonus is really tempting. My question is why does delta keep sending credit card offers for the platinum card even though I already have the reserve and can’t get the bonus?
@FBates360 – I have two Reserve cards, biz and personal, and get the same offers but we both know we can not get them unless we cancel and wait 365+ days. Just dumb!
10% rebate on points/miles.
Price protection
MasterCard World price protection!
the 40k sign up bonus is awesome!
The 40K signup bonus is HUGE!
I like the 40K signup bonus.
One feature I like is no foreign transaction fees!
Well, the sign-up bonus is attractive for this card!
40k bonus
40,000 bonus
My favorite benefit related to any world mastercard?
Villas of distinction – It’s not frugal. It CAN be economical. When it is (if you split it enough ways). it’s AWESOME. Good way to have a redonkulous vacation with friends
http://www.mastercard.com/worldtravel/benefit-detail.html?id=1044893
The best part is being able to redeem points for ANY travel expenses. Lots of flexibility there!
I can’t argue that the sign up bonus of 40k for 1k is awesome.
I like the 2x points on all purchases. Plus 10% of points redeposited after redemptions.
40,000 sign up bonus for sure
Flexible travel expense reimbursement.
The sign up bonus is pretty hard to beat
good insurance coverage on rental cars saves big bux rather than paying the high rate the car company charges.
I agree, the 40K signup and the 10% are great.
The 10% back is awesome!
The 40K sign up bonus is a winner!
The World MasterCard benefits are nice, but other cards offer similar benefits. The big deal here, as Rene points out, is the $400 travel credit and 10% back. (Last year Barclay’s ran a similar promotion for $400 statement credit on their NFL cards – watch for that around Superbowl time!)
It’s the 40K bonus!
Amazingly I don’t have ANY Mastercards. I only have Amex and Visa. I’m interested to see what others say.
the 4k bonus points
For Barclay’s I like the 2% earn for most all travel expenses, and I like that I can earn points at Sam’s Club with MC.
The World MasterCard benefit I like is the extended warranty. It’s nice to know I’m covered, and don’t necessarily have to buy an extended warranty program.
low initial spend for the bonus points
The signup bonus
I love the sign up bonus! This one will be included in my next round of applications – coming soon to a wallet near you.
Signup Bonus
It’s a toss-up between the “Identity Fraud Reimbursement/Resolution” and the “Travel Cancellation Insurance”. Because most of the time I’m using branded cards (some Visa and AMEX) for travel, I’ll go with the ID fraud reimbursement/resolution.
I’m all about the points and 40k is good!
I Like Tripit Pro (though pro isn’t useful enough to pay for IMHO)
40K bonus for signing up is a huge perk!
Priceless New York ! ( and other city’s )
What a great perk !
The 40,000 point bonus for sign up.
Definitely price protection!
I think the sign up bonus and the 10% back are the best.
The 40k bonus signup points
Worldwide Car rental insurance (sometimes even in Jamaica, Italy, Israel, Ireland)

The sign up bonus.
The 40k bonus for low spend.
Not having a Card of this type the 40K bonus is likely to get me moving to it
The 10% back is the best.
2X on everything.
Has to be the 40k bonus as not many other perks I have seen
Signup bonus. Haven’t gone down this route yet, but need to consider.
I’m a fan of the 40,000 bonus points upon sign up.
10% miles back when you redeem for travel!
I like the perk of getting 10% back when redeeming got travel!
40,000 points for free!
Always searching for miles so I go for the sign up bonus

ability to redeem points for any travel expenses is my favorite perk
My favorite perk is the 40K bonus

I love the 40K signup bonus.
major sign up bonus
The 40k bonus!

40k bonus
It’s usually the bonus points for me, but I’d prefer AA’s card first.
40,000 bonus points is nice
Excellent bonus miles
40 K signup!
the fact that 10k turns into 440 for travel and that you can get the miles for the airline so that 440 would net me at least 4k and with a good fair to Istanbul or something like 12k miles awesome!
10% back and 40,000 points
The signup bonus is easy to get and really generous.
10% is great.
the 40,000 points sin up bonus

Burning some of those arrival points right now 🙂 plus it’s nice to have a non-visa card every once in a while

The TripIt Peo subscription. I’d be lost without it given all my travels.
10% back
The 10% points back is great!

The 4k bonus – I just got this card in my latest round.
I don’t have the card, but the 10% rebate on redemptions looks good

The sign up bonus is best
The 40k bonus signup points is great!
The bonus points silly
I don’t know if it counts as a perk so much as the point: saving on travel with points/miles. That’s always my favorite part!
The bonus for sure is the best feature. Would love to use the 2X feature more.
Definitely the generous 40K sign-up miles!
The 40K starting bonus is pretty generous.
Sign up bonus!
The sign up bonus would do it for me.
MANY benefits, but initially the signup bonus; followed by the redemption.
Oh, the signup bonus catches my attention.
I don’t have this card, but it certainly looks like a winner for a variety of reasons, but the signup bonus alone makes it a strong contender.
I love the signup bonus right front and the 10% BACK!
The 40,000 sign up bonus is pretty awesome!

The sign up bonus after meeting minimum spend on the arrival card is the best benifit.
