Hey award trail blazers! Ever feel like you're missing out on hotel perks? Mastercard might just have a trick up its sleeve. They have a "Luxury Hotels and Resorts Collection" boasting over 3,800 properties worldwide. If you hold a World, World Elite, or World Legend Mastercard, you've got access!

So, why should you care? Well, this program is similar to the hotel collections offered by Visa (Visa Signature and Infinite) and American Express (The Hotel Collection and Fine Hotels & Resorts). These collections often include perks like free breakfast, room upgrades (when available), early check-in/late check-out, and sometimes even a hotel credit to use during your stay. If you're already a Mastercard holder, it's worth checking out their collection before booking your next stay. You might score some sweet extras without even switching cards!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
