Mastercard has launched a travel campaign offering cardholders access to more than 300 dining, shopping, accommodation and entertainment promotions across South-east Asia.
The Phone. Passport. Mastercard. campaign will run from May to December 2026 in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam.
Developed with issuing banks and merchant partners, the initiative includes offers spanning transport, retail and leisure experiences. The campaign comes as demand for shorthaul travel continues to grow, supported by strong regional connectivity and increased interest in nearby destinations.
Through Phone. Passport. Mastercard., the company aims to make journeys easier by providing travellers with access to payment services and benefits across participating markets.
According to Mastercard, the programme is designed to help travellers access offers and make payments across multiple destinations using its payment network. The company said its technologies, including tokenisation, multi-factor authentication and fraud monitoring, help support secure cross-border transactions.
The initiative is also intended to support merchants and tourism businesses by connecting them with travellers across some of the region’s busiest travel corridors.
Offers will be available through participating partners across the six markets, covering both trip planning and in-destination spending.
Dheeraj Raina, senior vice president and head of integrated marketing and communications, South-east Asia at Mastercard, said: “South-east Asia is one of the most rewarding regions in the world to explore today – rich in culture, nature, food and unforgettable experiences, often just a short trip away.
“We’re helping make travel across the region feel more seamless, accessible and connected, while bringing travellers closer to the local experiences and businesses that make every journey memorable.
