Each card type comes with its own set of benefits &#8212; which are in addition to whatever benefits the card has through the issuing bank. World Elite Mastercard is the second-highest tier of credit card in the Mastercard payment network, but it's also the most common.<\/p>\n<p>It's easy to tell whether your card is a World or World Elite Mastercard, as this text will be printed alongside the logo or on the back of the card.
