Coming to a FarmVille near you: AmEx Cards - Marketwatch

By Andrew R. Johnson

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- American Express Co. /quotes/zigman/217470/quotes/nls/axp AXP +0.66% , known for lending to well-heeled consumers, is pitching its plastic to the FarmVille crowd.

The New York-based lender is rolling out a line of co-branded prepaid cards with Zynga Inc. /quotes/zigman/7720406/quotes/nls/znga ZNGA -3.82% , whose social games allow players to build virtual farms, cities and restaurants on Facebook Inc.'s /quotes/zigman/9962609/quotes/nls/fb FB +3.22% site and other platforms.

The tie-in is American Express' latest foray into social networking as it tries to broaden beyond affluent customers. It traditionally has focused on getting credit and charge cards in to the wallets of big spenders, partnering with brands including Delta Air Lines Inc. /quotes/zigman/463579/quotes/nls/dal DAL +4.93% , Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. /quotes/zigman/410958/quotes/nls/hot HOT +0.45% and Daimler AG's (DDAIY, DAI.XE) Mercedes-Benz.

By broadening its focus, American Express hopes to grow the amount of spending done on its cards, which reached $822 billion last year.

"The digital platforms and our prepaid products ... are a perfect way for American Express to expand its franchise to become much more of an inclusive brand," said Dan Schulman, the president of the company's Enterprise Growth Group. Schulman, a former Sprint Nextel Corp. /quotes/zigman/240259/quotes/nls/s S +2.85% executive, joined American Express in 2010 to help spearhead the lender's push into new products.

Since last year, American Express has rolled out prepaid cards that don't require users to pass a credit check and launched a competitor to eBay Inc.'s /quotes/zigman/76117/quotes/nls/ebay EBAY -0.03% PayPal service. It also offers a service that lets credit-card customers receive merchant offers based on their activities on Foursquare, Twitter and Facebook.

Under its latest partnership, American Express will initially issue prepaid cards that carry both its name and that of FarmVille or Zynga. To get a card, FarmVille users must sign up for a Serve account, which customers can fund with existing bank accounts, debit and credit cards.

Cardholders can earn "Farm Cash" rewards for various activities, including purchases made with their FarmVille cards at merchants. Those rewards can then be used to buy more "virtual goods," such as a tractor or a horse, within the FarmVille game, where players plant crops to grow their farms.

Other companies will have the ability to pitch discounts within the game that players can load to their accounts and redeem by swiping their cards at the participating merchant, Schulman said.

American Express expects to issue co-branded prepaid cards for other Zynga games, such as CityVille and CastleVille, and expand its Zynga Serve Rewards program in the future, Schulman said.

Zynga has more than 290 million monthly active users across its various games, according to Jeff Karp, the company's chief marketing officer.

The efforts are one way lenders are trying to get their brands to be "top of wallet" in consumers' minds, said Denee Carrington, a senior analyst with Forrester Research Inc. who previously worked at American Express.

"I think the (return on investment) is a little bit more of an indirect ROI," Carrington said. "It's a way of integrating your brand, product or service into social media to reach your customer in a way to drive deeper engagement," which could potentially lead to "greater spend" on their card products.

In addition to American Express, Discover Financial Services /quotes/zigman/470130/quotes/nls/dfs DFS +0.83% sponsored an add-on world in FarmVille for a limited time in December, during which its credit-card customers could convert their cash-back rewards into double the amount of Zynga game currency. It also offered non-customers the ability to receive a $100 Zynga game card if they applied and were approved for a Discover credit card through a special Facebook link.

Capital One Financial Corp. /quotes/zigman/142838/quotes/nls/cof COF +2.74% last year said its customers could place a Capital One branch in CityVille, a game in which players develop their own cities.

"We ... are attracting a different segment of the population than we have attracted and we're reinforcing with our current customer base the advantages that we can provide online to them," American Express's Schulman said.

Zynga and American Express are all in a new deal that will give prepaid average card to gain more firm money holders.

American Express, which has long been known for high consumers of range, is at the bottom of the market.

"Zynga has a very large client base," said David Messenger, American Express executive vice president of the company's growth. "This partnership is not for existing customers of credit and payment card." It is the attempt to appeal to a new segment. These clients can be learners. They can be somewhat underserved in terms of banking services. They can use debit, cash and check. »

FarmVille players will be able to plant a tree bearing the American Express in their farms. If they plant the virtual tree, they you to sign up for a prepaid card program to serve American Express. Then after that, they can add money to their account of service and activate the card.

Don't forget the reward points: AmEx gives users Farmville cash - Tech

American Express partners with Zynga on a reward program that will link spending offline on his cards prepaid use awards in game in Farmville. It is a fairly ambitious attempt to increase the scope of the nascent serve produced American Express and actual spending of virtual rewards online for millions of enthusiasts of game social.

Zynga use reward program will involve also subsequently transformed into titles Zynga offer of platforms, enabling brands to insert in the games that can be registered in a service account and exchanged cards serve. Purchases of specific offers will unlock a virtual currency more in the Zynga Games, potentially creating a virtuous circle for the American Express and Zynga.

The time of the offer of the mark is always still TBD. But for the moment, users can begin to earn money Farm Cash in Farmville by registration for rewards serve as Zynga and get a prepaid card co-branded in the mail. Users can also earn money in the game connect to a source of funding to their card and activate. Only five first purchases of $25 or on the map of rewards more will earn virtual currency.

Other Zynga titles, including CastleVille and CityVille will be soon integrated into the program reward of Zynga. Users will be able to follow their rewards through a dashboard in the game and their service mobile app.

Dan Schulman, President of the growth of the American Express Company, said in an interview that this is the first partnership of rewards to serve and the deepest Zynga allowed a partner in one of his games.  He said the partnership enables Zynga and American Express give to social gamers a richer experience and it allows to Zynga become a point of departure for offers, with American Express are used to close the loop on redemptions.

"We are seeing a lot of customers in our target market, spend time on these platforms (social game)." "If we can integrate and make their life easier and customize offers and deals, and move money back and forth in a social way, which is extremely powerful," said Schulman.

This is another example of how American Express seeks to be aggressive in using social media to keep its relevant business users. It was firmly in collaboration with Twitter and Facebook to distribute offers that can be backed up on their American Express card. And it increases its presence on Facebook, including a Facebook serve application that allows friends to pay to the other.

I think that the company made much sense and could give American Express a new way to reach young users. Zynga, it is another way to drive more use and relies on other recent promotions awards in offline mode. In March, for example, Zynga in partnership with Frito Lay to put codes in specially marked chips bags which would unlock some virtual goods within games. If it can expand its relationship with American Express, it can show you how it can make more money off the coast of its users over $ 65 million.
