Discover exclusive international shopping deals with the Metrobank World Mastercard
Beyond the usual sightseeing and dining experiences, shopping allows travelers to bring back tangible memories; whether it’s a piece of local artwork, a traditional garment, or a unique trinket, these items serve as mementos that evoke the sights, sounds, and emotions of a destination long after the trip has ended. In order to supplement these experiences, Metrobank curates a selection of different shopping locations from around the world that can be paired with the Metrobank World Mastercard®.
In Japan, the Hankyu and Hanshin department stores are luxury shopping centers that hold a number of fashion brands. This includes large, multi-floor galleries that hold watches, jewelry, and other forms of accessories from a mix of both international and local Japanese designers as well. At each of these department stores, spending JPY30,000 gives you JPY3,000 cash back when you use your Metrobank World Mastercard®.
Flying to other destinations in Asia, Hong Kong is known as a city that features a dense concentration of commercial centers and malls within its districts. Lane Crawford is among the area’s largest shopping destinations, being host to a number of womenswear brands, alongside a wide selection of bags from different luxury houses. Apart from articles of clothing, the outlet also contains home furnishings and decor, ranging from bedding to tabletops. For a spend of HKD2,000 with Metrobank World Mastercard®, card holders will receive HKD100 in cash back when shopping at Lane Crawford.
Chow Tai Fook is another prominent shopping destination within Hong Kong. The house has been producing jewelry within the region since its founding over 95 years ago, specializing in integrating traditional East Asian design elements into pendants, necklaces, or rings. For travelers looking to incorporate jewelry into their wardrobe, spending HKD15,000 or more at Chow Tai Fook in Hong Kong will return HKD750 cashback for Metrobank World Mastercard® holders.
Halfway across the world, France’s Galeries Lafayette Haussmann is a century-old department store that contains the remnants of Paris’ Haussmannian architecture. A building characterized by its steel-frame and nouveau glass dome, the establishment is a multi-layered complex that also features experiences ranging from runway shows, heritage tours, and bakeries. Apart from also housing general clothing and cosmetics, the Galeries Lafayette hosts public art galleries for visitors, regularly inviting upcoming artists to take over its spaces. When shopping at Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann, Metrobank World Mastercard® holders are entitled to a cash back of EUR30 for a minimum spend of EUR500.
Each of these shopping spaces are accessible through deals under Metrobank’s newly relaunched Metrobank World Mastercard®.
