Credit Card affinity marketing

[ #25119 ]

I've been doing some research to see if a TPF branded credit card might be a good thing. Maybe it could be, mayage it won't be. That's for TPF to decide once I hand over my homework.

As part of that, I'd like to play some of the banks against each other. I don't go for the affinity cards (the ones where an organization gets a portion of all your charges). If anyone has these, I'd like to know the issuing bank. I'm especially interested in banks who won't be limited to the US. You can leave a note here or talk to me in email :)

the card(if we pull it through) will be a way to support perl fundation and get a credit card that have a camel on it.

  I don't think you (personally) will be able to get a card unless you hook up with a bank in China that will issue the card.

Is there going to be some kind of motto for the card? Perhaps something like...
