It's a Groovy Credit Card, Baby! (6/16/99)
FULL STORY:
Austin Powers - the man who marketed himself to death - now has a credit
card. And "It's Titanium, Baby!". First USA and New Line Cinema rolled out
the new Austin Powers Limited-Edition Titanium VISA credit card yesterday.
The program is the first VISA credit card to be associated with the launch
of a blockbuster comedy. The no-annual-fee card is available in two
shagadelic designs "It's Titanium, Baby!" features Mike Myers as cheeky
Austin Powers, and "Groovadelic" is a psychedelic '60s
swirl design. Following the first use of their 'Austin Powers Titanium
VISA' card, cardholders will receive a special complimentary widescreen
edition of "Austin Powers International Man of Mystery," which includes
extra scenes never before seen on VHS. The credit card offer features a
2.9% introductory rate and a 10.99% regular go-to interest rate. So get
