Sam's Club MasterCard World Version?

Does GEMB (Synchrony) currently offer a World version of any of their Mastercards?

I'm curious to see if they will offer a world version of the new Sam's Club MC.

It seems like they are trying to compete with the popular "big bank" type rewards cards.

I asked them that on Facebook this weekend. They said they would get back to me after they investigate the answer. I will update when they get back to me.

Thanks Coldnmn.

Isn't it interesting that they have to "investigate" something that should be a simply answer? LOL

I asked Sam's not the credit card company on Facebook. I still haven't heard so asked again. They apologized and said they would update soon. A better reply then making something up in my opinion to get rid of me.

There doesn't seem to be a precedent for them offering WMCs. Same with VISA. AFAIK, only Ebates has a Visa Siggy.

I would think the higher swiping fees would be an incentive.
