UPPER MARLBORO, Md.–NASA Federal Credit Union continues to boldly go where few plastic card issuers have gone before.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise, the credit union—which is the official Star Trek card partner—announced at the annual Star Trek convention in Las Vegas that it is promoting a limited time offer of 50,000 bonus points on its line of official Star Trek credit cards. Points may be redeemed for exclusive Star Trek merchandise and experiences not available with other credit cards. NASA Federal is also raffling off NASA flight jackets to those entering the contests, and giving away Star Trek-branded headphones to attendees who post selfies with Star Trek card fans to @nasafcu on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram using the #StarTrekCardFan.
"We are excited to be part of the Star Trek 50th Anniversary by offering Star Trek fans 50,000 bonus points on their new Star Trek credit cards. And the good news is that Star Trek fans don't have to be at the convention to get the Star Trek credit cards or enter to win a NASA Flight Jacket," said NASA Federal Credit Union president and CEO Douglas Allman in a statement. "We also hope that holders of Star Trek credit cards feel pride in the Star Trek franchise every time they use their cards, while also earning points toward exclusive Star Trek merchandise and experiences."
In late 2015, under license by CBS Consumer Products, NASA Federal launched four new Star Trek Platinum Advantage Rewards Credit Cards, which included the Starfleet Academy, United Federation, Captains and Starfleet Command Cards.
