Mastercard Introduces Its Most Prestigious Consumer Card Tier in the Dominican Republic with World Legend Mastercard

Mastercard introduced World Legend Mastercard in the Dominican Republic, making it the first Caribbean market to offer Mastercard's most prestigious consumer card tier. World Legend Mastercard unlocks an elevated level of access through The Mastercard Collection. Consumers can discover new ways to travel, dine and spend meaningful time with the people, places and passions that matter most, from distinctive local experiences to globally connected moments of discovery. 

The launch brings a new expression of premium to the Dominican Republic, as consumers increasingly seek payment products that combine security, convenience and access. Mastercard research found that 59% of affluent consumers surveyed value experiences over possessions, with dining, entertainment and travel among the experiences they prioritize. For many, premium is no longer defined simply by what they own, but by the places they discover, the moments they create and the people with whom they share them. World Legend Mastercard is designed around that shift. 

“Today’s consumers expect more. Beyond convenience and purchasing power, they want access, relevance and benefits that reflect the way they live and help them realize their potential,” said Tomás Alonso, Country Manager for the Dominican Republic at Mastercard. “World Legend Mastercard was created for that expectation. It is more than a card; it is a gateway to exceptional experiences, supported by the trust, security and innovation that define Mastercard.” 

The Mastercard Collection: Exceptional Access at Home and Around the World 

The Mastercard Collection brings the World Legend Mastercard proposition to life with a globally connected suite of travel, dining and entertainment benefits. For eligible cardholders, these benefits go beyond traditional card features by creating exceptional access to experiences that reflect a broader shift toward intentional living—from memorable journeys and distinctive culinary moments to shared experiences with family and friends. 

Casa de Campo: Bringing the World Legend Proposition to Life in the Dominican Republic 

At the heart of the Dominican Republic offering is a signature relationship with Casa de Campo Resort & Villas, one of the Caribbean’s most recognized luxury destinations. Beginning November 1, eligible World Legend Mastercard cardholders can access a curated set of local experiences spanning travel, dining and entertainment, complemented by wellness and golf. Together, these benefits bring the global pillars of The Mastercard Collection to life through a single destination. 

Benefits include preferred room upgrades and flexible check-in and check-out when available, resort credits and welcome amenities, priority dining and MINITAS Beach Club & Restaurant access, preferred spa reservations, golf privileges and early access to select events. 

From memorable dining moments to distinctive experiences across the resort, the Casa de Campo offering combines the warmth of Dominican hospitality with carefully curated opportunities to discover, dine and connect. Designed to make time feel more meaningful, these experiences reflect how special moments are shaped not only by where you go, but by how you feel and who you share them with.  

“The most compelling premium propositions are not built by simply adding more; they are built by choosing better,” said Andreia Morelli, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications, North Latin America and the Caribbean at Mastercard. “World Legend Mastercard brings that philosophy to life through exceptional access and experiences selected for their quality, rarity and relevance — for people who are highly intentional about how they spend their time.” 

World Legend Mastercard marks the next step in Mastercard’s premium evolution in the Caribbean, bringing together global capabilities, locally relevant experiences and a proposition designed around how consumers increasingly choose to spend their time.
