For mere mortals, there is Sotheby’s World MasterCard.
Cardholders will receive free admission for up to four visitors at a raft of participating US museums and can choose to convert their spending points into cash donations to these institutions. The perks package includes invitations to special events at Sotheby’s galleries plus a complimentary subscription to Sotheby’s Preview Magazine.
The Sotheby’s World Elite MasterCard is available by invitation only. Cardholders will enjoy the usual travel benefits, preferential restaurant reservations and luxury gift offers.
Sotheby’s set to unveil credit card
Sotheby’s will launch a premium credit card later this spring. The Sotheby’s World and Sotheby’s World Elite cards are the product of a partnership between Mastercard and American finance house GE Money who hope to use Sotheby’s status as a luxury brand to attract high-net worth cardholders.
