In partnership with Philippine National Bank, Mastercard has released a limited-edition commemorative 2019 SEA Games Mastercard prepaid card.

Filipinos have been showing support by posting selfies with fun backgrounds, stickers, and even music on Facebook.
4. 10% discount on ticket purchase
Mastercard holders can enjoy the exclusive privilege of obtaining a 10% discount on ticket purchase with a minimum spend of P1,000 at any SM Tickets outlet or online. This offer also applies to transactions via the 2019 SEA Games mobile app.
5. The Mastercard Jeepney
