Er... And what's the difference between Mastercard and World Mastercard? I never really noticed till it was mentioned *shrugs*
Emm ... can't find a definite difference between the both. I think what's makes it unique it's because it's coupled together with HSBC Premier service. Otherwise the only difference would be the perceived higher class status.
I also found out that there is such thing called the
World Elite Mastercard which is supposedly one class above the World Mastercard.
The highest for VISA (at least in Malaysia) if I'm not mistaken would be VISA Infinite - currently offered by RHB Bank only. In the US, VISA Signature seems to be the highest card for a VISA - it's differentiated by a "
VISA Signature" band across the front of the card in addition to the VISA logo.
One day if everyone holds a Platinum card, the next stage would be these cards which is (hopefully) the banks will defends it's exclusivity and not everyone will be able to get one.
