Ratehub’s review

Natasha Macmillan

The Tangerine World Mastercard is a well-rounded credit card offering thorough insurance coverage, including mobile device coverage, exclusive World Mastercard benefits, and airport lounge access through the Mastercard Travel Pass. This card makes a fantastic travel companion while providing great cash back value.

Pros

  • Customizable bonus categories: Pick up to three bonus categories to earn 2% cash back on (out of a total of 13 options), which is in sharp contrast to most other cards, where you have fixed bonus categories that you have no control over. Users are also given the freedom to change the bonus categories at any time (changes will take up to 90 days to come into effect)
  • Balance Transfer Option: Take advantage of a 1.95% balance transfer promotion for the first 6 months, providing potential savings on interest charges to help you pay off your credit card debt. (Balance transfer fee of 3%)
  • Comprehensive Insurance Coverage: Surprisingly robust insurance coverage, particularly mobile device insurance, which is uncommon for a no-fee card.
  • Exclusive World Mastercard Benefits: Access Mastercard Priceless Cities and Mastercard World Experiences for unique global experiences and valuable offers.
  • Airport Lounge Access: Enjoy access to over 1,000 airport lounges worldwide through Mastercard Travel Pass, enhancing your travel experience (at a cost of $32 USD per visit)

Cons

  • High Income Requirements: The card comes with a high annual income requirement of $60,000. However, if these are not met, the Tangerine Money-Back Credit Card is a viable alternative with few sacrifices.
  • Low Earn Rate: You only earn 0.5% on all purchases outside of bonus categories.
