Credit Card Brands Get Their Social Media Credit Score

Where would we be in this world if we couldn’t put it on plastic? Actually, don’t answer that. Credit cards remain the most essential, and most loved, tool in any shopoholics’ purse (or in the rare occasional case, the wallet). When every bank has its own credit card, how do the dedicated credit card brands reach out to people and excite them in to spending more?

Social media, like for other industries, has opened new possibilities for credit card brands. Visa is using it as a spring board for promoting experiences, Amex realized that social media can be a customer support channel and a promo channel while Ink From Chase focused on inspirational quotes for its business customer. MasterCard is doing a good job on Facebook, but performance on Twitter and YouTube lag far behind the other brands.
