(EXPIRED) New York City: Half off takeout & attractions and $25 off $100 hotel via Mastercard extended to 2/28/21

Last month, I hadn’t taken notice when Mastercard announced special promotions for New York City restaurant week as well as New York City hotels and attractions, but Bethany Walsh at Bougie Miles points out that the restaurant week to go promotions have been extended through February 28, 2021 and the statement credits for activities and hotels have been extended to March 31, 2021, so if you live in or are planning to visit New York City by the end of this month and you have any Mastercards, you don’t want to miss this deal.

Quick Thoughts

The deals here are excellent if you live in or will be visiting New York City. This year, you can get takeout from participating restaurant week restaurants for $20.21 and get $10 back on each order of $20.21 or more at select restaurants. That will drop your net cost to $10.10. For a takeout meal from a proper restaurant in New York City, that is fantastic. As you can get up to $100 back, you could repeat that 10 times. Since you register your individual card, it is possible that this might work for each Mastercard in your collection. Note that many of the restaurants are also available via GrubHub.

There are further offers for $10 back on every $20 spent on attractions, museums, and shopping in some cases. There is also an offer for $25 back on $100 spent at select hotels. For hotels, keep in mind that you’ll generally need to be making payment directly with the hotel in-person. Bookings via third parties like Expedia, Priceline, etc won’t work and rates prepaid online likely won’t work unless explicitly included somewhere on the promo pages.

This could make for a really notable deal if you’re able to stack using it on a few cards, but it could still be pretty strong with even one Mastercard. Getting $25 back on your hotel and $10 off each on a couple of museums and meals could easily add up to a nice savings over the course of night in the city for those will be there.
