IfOnly
About IfOnly
IfOnly was a US-based marketplace known for rare, access-driven experiences with chefs, athletes, musicians, and other luminaries. It emphasized bespoke, luxury moments such as private concerts, one-on-one lessons, and behind-the-scenes culinary events. Many offerings supported charitable causes, pairing memorable access with philanthropy. Following its acquisition, the spirit of IfOnly continues through Mastercard Priceless, which curates premium cultural and lifestyle experiences worldwide.
Who It's Best For
IfOnly was built for discerning gift-givers, corporate teams planning elite incentives, and individuals seeking once-in-a-lifetime access. It particularly suited those who value privacy, exclusivity, and personal connection with renowned talent. For milestone celebrations or client entertainment, the platform offered curated options that signaled taste and consideration. Travelers with flexible budgets could align trips with standout experiences.
