Any differences really? Which one would you prefer and why?
I think Visa Signature generally has better benefits than World MasterCard, but it can vary by card. From what I can tell, the Visa Sig and World MC Chase Sapphire Preferred are pretty much identical in terms of side benefits. I opted for a MC version so I could use it at Sam's Club.
My csp is MC too. Never had an MC though. That is why I applied. There was no real good reason behind it.

World elite mastercard is more on par with visa sig. but in world MC vs visa sig visa sig would win from what I've read on here.
That's interesting, in the paperwork with my Sapphire card it says I have access to a concierge service by calling 1-800-MC-ASSIST, which is the number for MasterCard's. But, the card is clearly a World MasterCard, not World Elite. I haven't used it yet, but it seems atleast some regular World MasterCards have access to the concierge.
My "benefits" guide clearly states 24/7 concierge too. I have the MC CSP as well.
I could be wrong then. I know world mc has stuff like master assist and mastertravel plus, but those aren't the same as your traditional concierge that deal special requests. Maybe world mc added it too? I'm really not sure.

Based on the MasterCard website, concierge doesn't seem to be a standard benefit for the World MasterCard. I'm not sure, but I'd wager that it's not standard for all World MasterCards, but can be added on for certain ones.
Has anyone here ever used the MasterCard concierge? I see a lot of comparisons between Visa and Amex concierge, but MC's is rarely mentioned, is it in the same league?
+1. it might be something specifically for your CSP. If you're Chase, it's hard to offer 2 versions of the same product if one is noticeably inferior. Perhaps they added this to make it so that CSP mc holders weren't missing out on something? I've used the visa concierge twice and they've been immensely helpful. I'm curious about peoples experiences as well. Also has anyone had experience using the JPM concierge?
