Synergy, BCU and Jetstar Gold Coast Titans launch Credit Card

Jetstar Gold Coast Titans Managing Director Michael Searle has today invited Jetstar Gold Coast Titans members, fans and supporters to become a Titans BCU Visa cardholder.

Based on extremely successful products in the US and UK, the Titans BCU Visa card is an initiative of the clubs’ community banking sponsor, BCU. The card is co-branded with the Titans and is for the Titans members, fans and supporters who have a passion for the club and want to express their support through their every day life.

“We are very proud that BCU is able to offer our members and supporters the Titans BCU Visa card. The card has a fantastic Titans design and is another means for our members and fans to be an integral part of the Jetstar Gold Coast Titans community.” said Michael Searle.

The Titans BCU Visa card is a CANNEX Five star rated product for superior value3 and has an incredibly low interest rate of just 10.8% per annum1, a 55-day interest free period2 and a low annual fee.

“In a period where finances are tight the low interest rate should be extremely attractive. We want to provide Titans fans with a great value credit card that they can be proud to own and use. Many of the Titans first grade squad have a Titans BCU Visa so they can see and understand the value of the card.” said Gillian French, General Manager Marketing, BCU.

Similar cards currently operate in the English Premier League football, and the NFL and Major League Baseball competitions in the US and are now seen as an important part of the clubs financial and merchandising structure. Clubs such as Manchester United have experienced such success that they now operate a financial services division as part of the club.

“Very few sports can boast the tribalism, devotion and passion that the NRL derives amongst fans and supporters. While there are many affinity based credit cards available in Australia, we believe that this product is based on true affinity and true loyalty. Very few people have a relationship with any other brand like they do with their NRL club.” explained Gillian French.

The Titans BCU Visa card can be used as an everyday credit card for purchases on items such as groceries, petrol and day-to-day expenses. BCU has secured the support of many Titans sponsors to offer cardholders a range of exclusive instant discounts across a range of products and services including theme parks, food and beverage, Titans merchandise, subscriptions and more.

The Titans BCU Visa card is now available to all Titans fans and supporters who can apply for a card on-line at www.titansbcuvisa.com.au, by calling BCU Direct on 1300 228 228.
