# Retrieve Benefits
source: https://developer.mastercard.com/priceless-specials/documentation/use-cases/retrieve-benefits/index.md

The Retrieve Benefits service allows the issuer to retrieve benefits that are published to the Priceless Specials API.

Upon successful request for retrieval of the benefits, the issuer may use the information provided in the API response to display the programs on their cardholder-facing mobile app or website.
For the best user experience, we recommend formatting the information provided by the API as necessary to suit the application's design and user interface.

## Pre-requisites {#pre-requisites}

Before using the Priceless Specials API service, your project must first be created as an API project on the Mastercard Developers.
