A bank card designed for online shoppers
Regardless of where the card is used, the customer can enjoy the benefits of Cdiscount: special offers, discounts, warranties …
This pioneering approach sets Cdiscount apart from the rest of the cut-price e-commerce market, as it launches a single debit/credit card that offers multiple services such as universal cashback and free delivery and allows customers to choose between debit and credit purchases at any time:
- Cashback All purchases made with the Cdiscount MasterCard® generate cashback* regardless of the amount, store or site where they are made. For every 1,000 euros spent, the customer receives a 10 euro voucher to spend on Cdiscount.com.
- Specific services for distance selling
Free delivery for small parcels at Casino Proximité
Extended cooling-off period (30 days instead of 7)
Exclusive discounts on selected items - MasterCard acceptance network and benefits
Thanks to the MasterCard acceptance network, the Cdiscount MasterCard is accepted by more than 32.9 million** merchants worldwide. It also benefits from MasterCard support and insurance services.
An innovative card
The card enables customers to choose between making a debit or credit purchase at any time. They can also use the secure client area on the Internet to switch between debit or credit expenditure.
In addition, it includes the MasterCard PayPass™ function for simple, fast contactless purchases up to a maximum of 20 euros.
The Cdiscount MasterCard® is the latest in the new range of BANQUE CASINO cards and has been produced with the electronic payments knowhow of its new shareholder and partner, the Crédit Mutuel Group.
