Over the last two years, the market for co-branded and affinity cards has been reinvigorated. Leading bank card issuers have struck major deals, many partners are changing issuers, and new cobranded card programs have been introduced, with more on the way. Cobranding and affinity strategies have also moved from the credit to the debit realm. In addition, consumers and merchants alike are adapting to new electronic payment technologies, creating additional opportunities for increasing customer retention via cobranded card strategies.

Relying heavily on detailed interviews with industry sources, The U.S. Market for Co-branded and Affinity Credit Cards contains a wealth of tables, charts, information, and concise and pointed analysis that provides well-founded insight into virtually all aspects of co-branding.
