Mastercard's Allies with Instacart and Peacock

<p>In yet another round of financial collabs, Mastercard has announced yet
more partnerships. Instacart and Peacock have joined forces with the credit
card giant to provide unparalleled everyday value and convenience to discerning
consumers. </p><p>Mastercard and Consumer Empowerment</p><p><a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/tag/mastercard/">Mastercard</a>
would have us believe that they’re more than just a credit card. They’re the
key to a treasure trove of over $60 billion in meaningful rewards and benefits –
we use the word “meaningful” a little loosely here. However, the general idea
is indeed sound – costs for just about everything are soaring, and therefore
any little perk goes a long way.</p><p>Instacart and Peacock: A New Level of Convenience</p><p>In that spirit, Mastercard is set to work with <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/fintech/are-the-odds-against-instacart-ipo-long-term/">Instacart</a>
and <a href="https://www.peacocktv.com/">Peacock</a>. Imagine Instacart’s on-demand
access to online shopping and grocery delivery at your fingertips, complemented
by a streaming subscription with Peacock. You’ll have to pardon our earlier
cynicism, the idea of lying on the couch watching TV while ordering our
groceries has officially piqued our interest.</p><blockquote><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Want Instacart at its best? Get 2 free months of Instacart+ with your eligible Mastercard®.

shopping. The appetite is insatiable, and Mastercard is serving up a delectable
dish. Instacart+ membership is now on the menu for eligible World Mastercard
and World Elite Mastercard holders. A two-month free trial and a $10 monthly
discount on eligible Instacart purchases await. The perks include no delivery
fees, reduced service fees, and credits on eligible pickup orders. </p><p>And, just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, there's the
streaming sensation – Peacock. With people overwhelmingly embracing digital
streaming services, Mastercard is delivering value with cost-effective access
to Peacock's premium streaming platform. This isn't just about watching; it's
about diving into Priceless Experiences that span NBCUniversal's iconic shows
and studios across the country.</p><p>Just think about it. You can be searching for the ice cream tub you’ll
eat by yourself after crying your eyes out streaming that rom-com.</p><p>“Now more than ever, consumers are looking for benefits and savings
that meet their everyday needs,” said Seema Chibber, EVP of Credit, North
America, Mastercard. “By adding on-demand grocery delivery and streaming
services to our existing suite of card benefits, we remain committed to
providing cardholders a combination of benefits that provide meaningful value
and enhance the lifestyles they have built.” Personally, we don’t
feel that they’re pushing the ice cream and sofa angle hard enough, but there
you go.</p><p>Mastercard’s endless <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/trending/if-youre-a-psp-and-youre-not-with-mastercard-somethingswrong/">partnership
