Article Abstract:
Capital One Financial has teamed up with Kmart to launch a co-branded MasterCard. This is the first time that Capital One has partnered with a traditional retailer although it has launched several co-branded credit cards in the past. Capital One has also launched a direct-mail campaign that targets most of its card members as well as those within Kmart's database. The co-branded MasterCard allows Kmart shoppers to receive the benefits of a private-label retail card but with the buying power of a major credit card.
