2013 WORLD MASTERCARD® TERMS AND CONDITIONS
To take advantage of any World MasterCard® travel benefits described here, you must book through Carlson Wagonlit Travel, MasterCard's designated travel agent for MasterCard Travel Services and must reserve and pay in full for reservations, including deposit and final payment, with a valid World MasterCard® card issued in the U.S., Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. All benefit travel must commence by December 31, 2013 unless otherwise noted. All benefits and offers are subject to availability and are subject to change or cancellation without notice. Benefits may generally be redeemed multiple times, subject to specific travel service provider limitations, and are valid on new bookings only. Multiple World MasterCard® travel benefits provided by MasterCard Travel Services may be booked, but such benefits may not be combinable with a travel service provider's other offers.
Best Available Price: For bookings with suppliers participating in the World benefits program, "best available price at the time of booking" is based on a comparison with regular, published prices, excluding promotional rates, "web-only" rates, etc. and rates that require pre–payment and/or that impose cancellation penalties, as well as discount or negotiated rates not available to the general public, such as: membership, corporate, government, group, employee, packages, unpublished or rates only available on auction websites. If a booking is made through CWT with a supplier that is not participating in the World MasterCard® benefits program, then CWT will offer rates negotiated by CWT and/or those available to CWT in the Global Distribution System. If within twenty–four (24) hours of a Cardholder's original reservation through CWT with a supplier that is not participating in the World MasterCard® benefits program, CWT is notified by cardholder of a lower publicly–available rate that meets the exact booking criteria for the same supplier, then CWT will contact the applicable Supplier (including hotel, cruise line, car rental, tour company, airline or other) in an attempt to procure that same lower rate for the Cardholder, or, alternatively, the Cardholder will be allowed to cancel his or her reservation, provided the Cardholder was not informed at the time of booking that the reservation was non-refundable. Cardholder acknowledges that, with respect to airfares booked in some jurisdictions, Cardholders may not be allowed to cancel a reservation after twenty-four (24) hours have elapsed from Cardholder's original reservation. For purposes of the foregoing, discount or negotiated rates not available to the general public, such as closed memberships, auction sites, phone only rates and same day mobile only rates are not considered publicly available rates.
Blackout dates and additional terms, conditions and restrictions may apply. Specific travel benefits are not available for certain card programs.
