Mastercard and Global Blue Boost Cross-Border Shopping with Exclusive 20% Bonus Refund Offer

Mastercard  is enhancing the travel experience for Azerbaijani tourists visiting Türkiye through an exclusive collaboration with Global Blue, one of the world’s leading tax-free service providers.
Under the new campaign, Azerbaijani travelers making Tax Free purchases with their Mastercard cards in Türkiye will receive an additional 20% refund on top of the standard VAT refund — turning shopping abroad into an even more rewarding experience.

Supporting tourism and seamless travel between Azerbaijan and Türkiye

As travel between Azerbaijan and Türkiye continues to grow, Mastercard aims to bring greater convenience and value to Azerbaijani cardholders abroad. The campaign encourages cross-border travel and shopping by making the Tax Free refund process simpler and more advantageous, while also supporting Türkiye’s tourism economy and strengthening economic ties between the two nations.

“At Mastercard, we aim to add value to our users at every stage of their international travel. Through this partnership with Global Blue, Azerbaijani travelers visiting Türkiye can now enjoy extra savings and a smoother shopping experience. It’s a benefit that makes travel more profitable and memorable while also contributing to the tourism sector and local businesses.”

How the campaign works

Tourists visiting Türkiye can receive an extra 20% refund on top of the standard VAT refund when shopping at selected stores in İstinye Park, Emaar Square Mall, and Zorlu Center in Istanbul using their Mastercard-branded cards.
The refund amount is transferred directly to the customer’s Mastercard card. To participate, shoppers simply need to pay with Mastercard and inform store staff that they wish to register for the campaign.
