🚨 MasterCard “priceless” moments. While Mastercard was already McLaren sponsor but from 2026, they are title sponsors. For Monza they had a hot lap driven by professional drivers. €1000 for 2 folks and one hot lap each. For Sunday, even Lando or Oscar would be those drivers!

Does HDFC Marriott Card give milestone benefits for excluded categories?. Rent payment, for example, doesn't earn any points and also has 1% fees. But do we receive the milestone rewards, such as free night awards?.
