Barclay Rewards World M/C ?

Credit-hoarder — Wed, 10 Dec 2014 15:40:12 GMT

So I just read my approval email from my Barclay M/C approval 2 days ago..and apparently I was approved for the WMC version-which I didn't even know existed. Although they only gave my a $2.5K limit. Is their any added advantage to having the WMC version vs. the regular M/C?

Concierge, A nice WORLD logo on your card.

Otherwise, use and abuse as you would any Mastercard.

Congrats on the WMC version!! Besides it being a WMC over the platinum -- didn't you get a longer BT offer of 18 months vs 6 months and the lower apr of 14.99 vs 24.99? That's the offer I got with this card in Aug 2014 and a 9500 limit

I believe WMC also offers purchase protection (in case of lost/stolen) whereas regular mastercard does not. Although I could be wrong, so feel free to correct me.

All in all, you get a few more perks and you get a pretty "W O R L D" above the MC logo.

Congrats! on landing Barclays Rewards WMC!

Oddly enough, that card was surprisingly my first Instant Approval! as well as first entry with Barclays.

I recently made a thread asking about the benefit of a World MC/Visa Sig. You may want to check it out because some people listed the benefits and offered links to comprehensive info on the benefits.

But to answer you quickly, it's pretty much concierge and not much else that you would tend to use.

As you said, I had no idea this card had a WMC version, but congratulations nevertheless!

Use and abuse, lol! Very aptly put.
