Affinity credit cards have been around since the 1980s, but they've really taken off in the last four to five years.

Affinity cards work on the same principle as Earned Rewards cards. Whenever a holder of an affinity credit card makes a purchase using that card, they're credited with 1-1.5% back. The difference is that instead of receiving that reward themselves, it's contributed to the company that places its emblem on the card. It's a painless way to contribute to your favorite charity and let your spending habits do some good.
But how many people actually use affinity credit cards?
According to the Nilson Report, affinity credit cards make up almost 29% of all credit cards in use. That's nearly 1/3 of all active credit cards. That's a lot of charity going around for a country that supposedly has a heart of stone.
Should your non-profit agency consider issuing an affinity credit card? According to the experts, the standard rule of thumb is 'can you generate 50,000 credit card users in two years?'
What can you expect if you do decide to market an affinity card in conjunction with a credit card company?
Most companies - and they include local police unions, sports groups and philanthropic groups - get at least $1 per user that signs up for your affinity card, and a percentage of whatever is charged on those cards. Whether you're looking into applying for an affinity credit card or finding a bank that might be interested in sponsorship from your organization, be sure to shop carefully.
The better the deal you get on your affinity card, the more you'll be helping the people that are important to you.
