Price Protection from Mastercard may provide reimbursement for the price differences found on items that were purchased with an eligible Mastercard. For instance, if a member discovers a cheaper price for the Beats Headphones they just purchased, they may be eligible for reimbursement. Cardholders must use their eligible Mastercard entirely to purchase the item. If a cardholder sees a printed or non-auction internet advertisement for the same product for a lower price within the eligible time period applicable on your Mastercard, they may be eligible for the price difference. Cardholders will need to provide their original itemized store receipts, card statement record of purchase and a copy of advertisement showing the lower price found. Members may file a claim at www.mycardbenefits.com or by calling 1-800-MASTERCARD.

If you become dissatisfied with a product you purchase using your eligible Mastercard within 60 days of purchase, and the store will not accept a return, you may be eligible for a refund for the cost of the product up to $250. Let’s say a cardholder purchased a rug that ends up being too small for the area they wished to cover. They attempt to return it, but it is beyond the store’s return policy of 20 days. They may be eligible for a refund. They must pay for the item using their eligible Mastercard and the item must be purchased from a store that provides a return or exchange policy of at least 10 days. The item must be returned undamaged, in good working condition, in its original and complete packaging along with the original itemized store receipt and card statement showing the record of purchase. Members may file a claim at www.mycardbenefits.com or by calling 1-800-MASTERCARD.

Mastercard may extend the terms of the manufacturer’s warranty on certain items that were purchased using their Full Circle Mastercard (i.e. a refrigerator purchase). Coverage may be provided for the repair or replacement cost of the item and will not exceed the actual amount charged on the eligible Mastercard. Cardholders will need to provide their original itemized store receipts, card statement record of purchase and the original manufacturer warranty. Members can file a claim or check the status of a claim at www.mycardbenefits.com or by calling 1-800-MASTERCARD.
