CHARLOTTE, N.C. - In one of MBNA's first marketing blitzes as part of Bank of America Corp., the company said Tuesday it will start offering credit cards tied to Olivia, a San Francisco travel company that caters primarily to the lesbian community.
The Olivia-branded cards, which will allow holders to earn points for items such as airline tickets and hotel reservations, join the legion of so-called affinity cards offered by MBNA. The credit card company also offers cards tied to everything from National Football League teams to retailers such as L.L. Bean and Bass Pro Shops.
"We are a leading provider of travel and other lifestyle services to the lesbian market," said Amy Errett, Olivia's chief executive. "Our customer base is very much a professional one, with significant affluence.
"It's also a market with a significant amount of pride and knowledge about exercising their spending power," she said. "So it's a logical and natural extension of our business to offer this card."

No big deal - literally anyone can have an affinity card if you want to shell out the money to set them up -
