BASE MasterCard
Earn up to € 183* a year with your credit card!
Who can do without a credit card these days? Useful for both small and big purchases, indispensable when travelling and safe thanks to the pin code. But next to this ease of payment, the BASE MasterCard has much more to offer: you can not only spend money with it, you can also earn it!
The benefits
A BASE MasterCard is accepted all over the world. It may look like the card that is issued by your bank but it comes with a host of attractive extras which you will not find anywhere else:
Your BASE MasterCard is free
There is no charge for your card during the first year**. You will not be charged during the following years on condition that you spend at least € 2,000 a year with your card. You can easily spend this, just think of the payment for your annual vacation, for example. If you do not spend € 2,000 a year, then you will have to pay the annual € 15 fee for your BASE MasterCard.
You receive free minutes for BASE to BASE calls
For every purchase with your BASE MasterCard you will receive free minutes***, as long as the total amount of your purchases during the previous month was at least € 10. You can use the free minutes yourself or give them to a beneficiary by linking his or her BASE mobile phone number to your BASE MasterCard. You will also receive additional minutes for top-ups (prepaid) or when paying a postpaid invoice with your BASE MasterCard.

You will receive a text message for payments of over € 150
You will receive a text message to confirm any payment of over € 150 with your BASE MasterCard. It is a useful way of checking your purchases when distance buying via the Internet or by mail order. But above all it is an in-built security: the text message will notify you of any purchases of over € 150 and thus of any abuse of your card.
You can customize your card
Order your card online and send us a photo of your choice or choose one from our gallery. We will send you a BASE MasterCard that is unmistakably yours. You only have to pay € 9.75.
You will receive 60 minutes for BASE to BASE calls every year
If you extend your BASE MasterCard by one year, you (or your beneficiary) will receive sixty minutes free of charge. Just like that, irrespective of the amount that you spent with your BASE MasterCard.
You will receive 60 minutes on your birthday
Is it your birthday? Congratulations!
We will give you 60 minutes for BASE to BASE calls for free.
You will receive a discount in BASE stores
Pay with your MasterCard and enjoy a 20% discount on all mobile phone accessories and 10% discount on all mobile phones over € 100.
You will also enjoy buyer's insurance and travel insurance
Anything you buy with your card is automatically insured for a 180-day period against theft, loss or damage. While travelling, you will have complementary insurance in case of an accident or illness and in case of flight delays and problems with your luggage thanks to your BASE MasterCard****.
