Marvel Superheroes Add an Exciting Dimension to MasterCard’s Customer Experience

There are few customer segments as loyal and as passionate as those who follow the adventures and storylines interwoven throughout the superhero universe. These fans often follow the pursuits of their favorite characters across a wide range of channels and mediums including television, the big screen, comic books, action figures and numerous product lines of co-branded merchandise.
 
And now Marvel, one of the leading publishers of comic books and superhero related media, is joining forces with Synchrony Financial, a premier consumer financial services company and the nation’s largest provider of private label credit cards, to bring an exciting new customer experience to fans of the superhero genre.
 
The new partnership comes via a new Marvel MasterCard, which promises to let users unlock their super powers through a host of special benefits and excusive content.
 
“This is an exciting opportunity for Marvel fans to earn rewards, save money and always carry Marvel artwork with them,” said Rob Steffens, CFO, Marvel. “We expect the fun and the value of the card to be a hit with Marvel fans everywhere.”
 
In additional to receiving Marvel merchandise and special events, cardholders can also earn 3% cashback for purchases made on select entertainment and dining options, online at marvel.com and even for transactions made at Marvel’s official merchandise booths.
 
Furthermore, Marvel MasterCard members will also earn 1% cashback rewards on all other purchases, and they can enjoy special discounts by indulging their favorite superhero-related hobbies. For example, cardholders can get daily 10% discounts on all MarvelShop.com merchandise purchases. And during certain times of the year, they can also get free shipping on website-based purchases as well.
 
“The Marvel MasterCard provides payment flexibility, cashback rewards and exclusive benefits for cardholders,” said Tom Quindlen, executive vice president and CEO, Retail Card, Synchrony Financial. “We’re excited about our relationship with Marvel and the value this new card will bring to loyal Marvel fans and others who enjoy the benefits of a cashback program on dining, entertainment and merchandise.”
 
The new rewards card will also allow fans to choose from a list of several superheroes designed to showcase their favorite characters in action.
 
“Marvel fans will undoubtedly be delighted to carry and use these lively card images, and proudly show affinity for their favorite Marvel Super Heroes,” said Joe Quesada, Chief Creative Officer, Marvel. “The card designs creatively represent some of the biggest Marvel heroes and further emphasize what it means to show your Marvel pride on a day-to-day basis.”
