A New Card That Can Rock ‘n’ Roll
Figuring credit card users can’t get no satisfaction, the band has put its name and lips-and-tongue logo on a new Visa card.
The Rolling Stones card, introduced by Maryland-based Chevy Chase Savings Bank, is the first to be linked to rock ‘n’ roll, said Barbara Hvasta, vice president for Visa. “We’re delighted to be affiliated with these legendary performers,” she said.
Legendary indeed.
The 30-year-old band actually predates modern credit cards by a few years.
The card is aimed at the band’s fans, who range in age from teen-agers to baby boomers, and it has been launched in conjunction with the Stones’ worldwide Voodoo Lounge Tour. Users will get discounts at participating music stores and can earn points toward discounts on Rolling Stone merchandise.
