Our Expert Opinion on Halifax World Elite Mastercard

The Halifax World Elite Mastercard suits frequent travellers who want fee-free spending abroad, where it uses Mastercard rates and sits practically nothing off the real exchange rate, matching the best cards we have measured. The lounge access and airport fast track add genuine travel value, but the £15 per month fee is a real commitment, and the cashback at 0.5% to £15,000 then 1% earns less than the typical reward card, which we benchmark at 0.74%. I would also note the 55.0% APR makes carrying a balance very costly. Access is gated through the Halifax app, so not everyone can apply straightforwardly.
