DePaul affinity credit card launched

Alumni Relations, DePaul Athletics and Procurement Services recently teamed up with Bank of America to begin offering a new DePaul affinity credit card for personal use. The new card gives DePaul WorldPoints credit cardholders WorldPoints redeemable for cash, merchandise and travel rewards through Bank of America's WorldPoints program. Cardholders earn one point for every dollar spent on the card.  

Additionally, every time the card is used for a purchase, Bank of America makes a contribution to DePaul University at no additional cost.
 
The DePaul University WorldPoints credit card is available as either a Visa or MasterCard credit card and you can select either a Blue Demon logo or Tree of Wisdom logo design. To apply or for more information, call Bank of America at (800) 438-6262 and mention priority code FABIJ4.
