Personally, I’d be more inclined to use the free things, such as the bikeshare (and will definitely use it next time I’m there), but some of the events are pretty fascinating and can make for a fun night out, especially if you’re traveling to a city and looking for something unique.
Then, head to the Priceless City page of your choice and purchase the event or deal with a World Mastercard.
For example, to purchase the sushi rolling class, I’d head to the Priceless City New York page and then purchase it online.
For coupons to free things, such as the Citi Bikeshare program, you’ll head to the Priceless City New York page, enter your details, and then be given a coupon code to use.
It’s super simple, just make sure that for whatever you are buying to use your World Mastercard to be eligible.
Bottom Line
Since it doesn’t cost you anything extra, there is absolutely no reason not to take advantage of this great perk that Mastercard offers.
Pick a city, browse through the deals they offer (which in some cities, is A LOT), and see what you like.
Each one of those cards will make you eligible for the Priceless Cities perk.
Personally, I’d suggest the Barclays Arrival and the Barclays USAirways card, as they offer the best sign up bonuses at the moment.
If you’ve had them before and closed them, then maybe take a look at the Lufthansa Miles & More or Citi AA Mastercard, but the sign up bonuses at the moment are pretty weak.
Has anyone taken advantage of a cool Priceless Cities perk? After looking through the list, anything intriguing to you? Let me know in the comments below!
If you use one of my links to sign up for a World Mastercard, I may receive a referral. As always, I appreciate the support.
Some people are made to be storytellers, and Tom Allen is one of them.
And what a story he has to tell!
Ever wonder what it would feel like to head out on a bike one day, figuring you’ll pedal around the world?
What it would be like to pedal, day after day, through foreign cultures and lands…alone?
Well, if you don’t have 3.5 years to spare, don’t worry.
Luckily, Tom has filmed his entire adventure and put it together in an amazing feature-length film entitled Janapar.
During our interview, Tom not only gives us a behind the scenes look at the making of Janapar, but also dives into the art of storytelling, and how to hone both your video and storytelling skills.
He also teaches us how anyone can get started with adventure cycling, including how to begin for the price of a round of drinks (or $39.92, to be exact).
If you’re interested in starting to see the world from two wheels or want a sneak peek at how the video progressed (hint: not logically), have a listen!
Fact: Technology can be incredibly frustrating when traveling.
What plug do I use?
How can I use my phone in other countries?
What’s the best camera/laptop/tablet to have?
In this episode, tech wizard and world traveler Anil Polat of Foxnomad.com sits down to discuss how to use technology to enhance, not hinder, your travels and how to do so without spending a fortune.
Anil talks about how you can use your cellphone abroad, what small cheap gadgets you should always pack, how to turn your iPhone into a world-class camera, and much, much more.
In the travel industry, Anil is known as the go-to guy for tech questions, and he reveals many of his best secrets in the podcast.
In addition, he also discusses his wildly popular “Best City To Visit” tournament, a March Madness-style contest that has gained international acclaim and how you can be a part of it this year.
If you’re like me, you know that technology can an absolute nightmare when traveling abroad. But it doesn’t have to be.
Let Anil gives awesome straightforward advice be your guide!
For the first time on the Extra Pack of Peanuts Podcast, I’m joined by TWO people on the other side, Dave and Deb of the wildly popular travel blog, ThePlanetD.com.
Billed as “Canada’s Adventure Couple”, Dave and Deb discuss what adventure travel really is, and how two normal people like themselves are able to do some pretty abnormal travel quests (and all along, I thought I was interviewing super athletes)!
In addition to telling some amazing stories, like how they drove across two continents or biked the entire length of Africa, they’ll also provide logistical advice on how you can begin an adventure travel experience.
What tour companies might work for you.
How to pick your first adventure travel trip.
What health insurance you should have (and why you shouldn’t be scared of hospitals in other countries).
And even how to do bring adventure to your home if you can’t travel
And what I really love about this interview is that Dave and Deb then both open up about what travel means to them, and talk candidly about how it saved their marriage and the joys (and obstacles) of traveling as a couple.
Dave and Deb are two of the most energetic and passionate people I’ve met, so you can imagine what it’s like having them both on at once.
Positivity and enthusiasm radiate from the podcast!
If you’ve dreamed of doing travel that is a little less ordinary, go have a listen…and be bouncing off the walls the rest of the day!
Today, Steve Kamb of NerdFitness sits down to discuss how he was able to stay in shape while on an 8-month long around-the-world trip and gives some amazing, instantly implementable tips on how fellow travelers can do the same, no matter what destination they are in.
Steve is a magician at taking complex health and fitness issues, such as the impact of sugar on the body or the Paleo Diet and not only making them easily understandable but also fun to learn about.
Lucky for us, Steve is not only a fitness nerd, but also a travel nerd, and he discusses his love for frequent flyer miles, how he travels cheap, and also his favorite places.
Steve also delves into how he went from being a risk-averse video game nerd who had never left North America four years ago to a risk-averse video game nerd who now travels the world and becomes James Bond for a weekend and how the excuses for anything are total BS.
So if you’re someone who tends to get a little flabby while traveling, break that trend.
Have a listen to Steve and start implementing his simple instructions for staying fit on the road today!
