Here’s what Mark Barnett, president of MasterCard UK & Ireland had to say on the deal:
“Our ‘fare free’ days across London’s transport network have been a big hit with our cardholders, but we wanted to go one step further. By also offering a free coffee at Caffè Nero, we hope that the Monday morning commute becomes a little more enjoyable in more ways than one.”
