  1. Gas rewards: You can use rewards points for gasoline purchases at major service stations.
  2. Cashback: You can trade in points for cash rewards that you can use to pay your MasterCard bill, spend, or gift to charity.
  3. Travel rewards: You can earn rewards such as a free night in a hotel that partners with MasterCard each year as an "anniversary" gift or earn miles for each dollar spent with your MasterCard.
  4. Other rewards: You can also trade-in reward points for gift cards at major retailers or online shopping at Amazon.

How to Redeem Your Points

Since MasterCard is a money management network and doesn't directly issue its cards, redeeming of points will be handled by the financial institution that issued your credit card. Some ways to redeem MasterCard rewards points include online and through the mobile app.

  1. Open the page of the financial institution that issued your MasterCard.
