Mastercard has launched Flavours by Mastercard, a new culinary platform that takes you on a journey to explore and enjoy ‘Priceless’ experiences within Jamaica’s vibrant gastronomy scene.

From September until December 31, 2024, Mastercard World, World Elite, Black, and Platinum cardholders can indulge in exclusive culinary offers at some of the island’s most prestigious restaurants, including Orchid Thai, Buzo, Uncorked, Fromage, and Del Mare.

Flavours by Mastercard offers access to exclusive three-course menus, specially designed for the occasion, with a variety of appetisers, main courses, and desserts that highlight the richness and diversity of the Jamaican culinary scene. In addition, Mastercard cardholders can enjoy a special price during the promotional period.

“The culinary landscape across the Caribbean is incredibly rich and diverse. We’re thrilled to launch Flavours by Mastercard in Jamaica, showcasing the island’s unique gastronomy. This initiative reflects our commitment to creating priceless experiences for our cardholders while supporting local businesses across the region,” said Dalton Fowles, country manager for Mastercard in Jamaica.

The launch of Flavours by Mastercard coincides with the growing trend of consumers prioritising memorable experiences over material goods. According to the Mastercard Economics Institute’s 2024 Travel Report, spending on experiences has increased significantly, reflecting the desire to live unique and unforgettable moments. By attracting more customers to participating restaurants, the platform boosts the local economy and celebrates the richness of Jamaican cuisine.

Gastronomy is one of Mastercard’s strategic pillars, as it is one of the most relevant passions for consumers globally. Through its priceless.com platform, Mastercard seeks to provide its cardholders with unique experiences around the world.
