Prepaid Loyalty Cards

Starbucks' Rewards Visa Prepaid Card Lets Users Earn Stars Beyond Starbucks

— June 13, 2018 — Lifestyle
Earlier this year, Chase and Starbucks released a Starbucks Rewards Visa Card, but those who are not interested in opening another credit card may now opt to use a Starbucks Rewards Visa Prepaid Card instead.

This second co-branded product from Chase and Starbucks will be particularly valuable for those who are looking to rack up Stars. As the new prepaid card is integrated with the Starbucks Rewards loyalty program, card users will be able to collect Stars outside of Starbucks.

Those who use the Starbucks Rewards Visa Prepaid Card will instantly get Gold Status in the rewards program, plus incentives for making purchases. Some of the benefits of the new prepaid card include no Monthly, annual or reload fees, as well as one Star for every $10 spent when the card is used where purchases can be made with Visa.
Trend Themes
1. Co-branded Prepaid Cards - Opportunity for other brands to partner with financial institutions to create prepaid cards integrated with their loyalty programs, offering customers exclusive perks and rewards beyond traditional credit cards.
2. Expansion of Loyalty Programs - Opportunity for companies to expand the reach of their loyalty programs by partnering with financial institutions to create prepaid cards, enabling customers to earn loyalty points outside of traditional purchase locations.
3. Enhanced Customer Incentives - Opportunity for businesses to attract and retain customers by offering enhanced incentives on prepaid cards, such as instant membership upgrade and additional rewards for spending.
Industry Implications
1. Financial Services - Disruptive innovation opportunity for financial institutions to leverage co-branded prepaid cards to attract new customers and increase card usage through integration with popular loyalty programs.
2. Retail - Opportunity for retailers to create prepaid loyalty cards that provide customers with exclusive rewards and incentives for purchases made within and beyond their stores, driving customer loyalty and engagement.
3. Hospitality - Disruptive innovation opportunity for hotels, airlines, and other hospitality businesses to partner with financial institutions and offer co-branded prepaid cards that provide customers with rewards, upgrades, and benefits for loyalty and travel-related purchases.
