Amazon.com agrees to charge NextCard
Article Abstract:
Amazon.com Inc, the Seattle, WA-based e-retailing giant, agreed to grant NextCard Inc exclusive rights to market a co-branded visa card through its shopping site in exchange for up to $150 million in fees over five years. The deal, which starts in early 2000, will help boost the revenue of Amazon, which posted total sales of $610 million in 1998. The transaction also allows NextCard to pay less depending on how many new accounts it secures through the deal.
