Mastercard has active partnership with many hotel groups in Asia Pacific, offering status match and rate discount opportunities. Two new hotel groups have been added to the collection and you can view them in the Mastercard portal – note that you must sign up using the details of a valid World Elite card issued in Asia Pacific to see the offers, although it doesn’t need to be under your name.
[Millennium]
We cover Millennium hotels occasionally for their bonus-point offers. The Millennium Group has good presence in the UK, Middle East and Singapore, plus some scattered properties globally.
The refreshed their membership program recently. Mastercard World Elite cardholders get an instant upgrade to the top tier Prestige status, benefits including:
- Welcome amenity
- Early check-in / late check-out
- Room upgrade
- Club lounge access
- 25% dining discount
Club lounge access is arguably the most valuable benefit, which was removed when they “enhanced” their program previously and now added back.
[ONYX]
The next name is probably gonna be much less familiar to you. ONYX is small local hotel group in Thailand, with limited footprint in other Asian countries.
Mastercard World Elite cardholders receive a match to their Platinum status, coming with the following perks:
- Welcome amenity
- 24-hour check-in / check-out
- Room upgrade
- Club lounge access
- 20% dining discount
The status is unlikely to mean anything unless you visit Thailand. I’ve never heard of ONYX before, but a reader who’s stayed at OZO North Pattaya commented very highly of it.
