The verdict

Pass

Identical earn (3% on Walmart purchases, 1% elsewhere, no annual fee, and the same $25 welcome), so this comes down to the extras. The World Mastercard adds purchase insurance and a few more months of free Walmart Delivery Pass, but requires you to qualify for the World tier. If you're approved for the World version, take it for the free insurance; the earn is the same either way, and both are really only worth carrying for heavy Walmart shoppers.
