The World or World Elite status doesn't really mean anything since the issuing banks will pick and choose which of those benefits are included in their products anyway. For example, I have three World Elite and one World MC from Citi and none of them have any of the extra MC benefits. Also Cap1 just removed the cellphone insurance from their WEMC products this month.
If you want to know which extra benefits are really on your card, check the terms listed by your bank, or enter your card number at https://us.mycardbenefits.com/ (MC only).
