Mastercard and Marriott Vacation Club is running a great deal for Mastercard holders in some Asia Pacific countries.
How much will it cost?
Although the offer page mentions “complimentary 3 nights stay”, you will still need to pay taxes/fees based on the Standard rates reflected on marriott.com.
This ranges between S$120 to S$160 in total, for a 3-night stay, averaging as little as S$40 per night.
Rules to qualify
To qualify, you have to meet the following rules (although, I am not sure how some of them will be verified):
- Hold a Mastercard World (e.g. DBS Woman’s World) or World Elite (e.g. Citi Prestige) card in Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Macao, Indonesia, Philippines or Thailand
- You have to be married
- You and spouse are between 30 and 65 years old
- You and spouse have a minimum combined household income of S$120,000 annually
Sales presentation
Mastercard World Elite cardholders do not need to attend any sales presentation to qualify.
However, the primary cardholder of a Mastercard World card needs to attend a 90-120 mins sales presentation to qualify for the offer. You can (should!) say no to whatever timeshare product that they are selling at the end of the presentation but keep in mind that these sales staff are known to be quite aggressive in trying to convince attendees.
Presentation times will be pre-assigned by MVC on the day before check-out only.
Participating resorts
These are the participating resorts for this offer:
- Marriott’s Mai Khao Beach – Phuket (2 Bedroom Apartment, 6 adults)
- Marriott’s Bali Nusa Dua Gardens (King Room, 2 adults)
Both have similar taxes/fees for a 3-night stay but the one in Phuket looks to be a better deal as it allows up to 6 adults in a 2 Bedroom Apartment!
