Those cuddly little "Boyds Bears" have landed their own credit card. Cleveland-based National City has launched a co-branded card with PA-based The Boyds Collection Ltd. The new "Boyds Bears VISA Platinum" credit card offers one collectible bear for the first card purchase or balance transfer, and "Paw Points" for each transaction thereafter. The "Paw Points" can be exchanged for additional bears each year. Founded in 1979, the Boyds Collection is a designer and manufacturer of branded, high quality, handcrafted collectibles and other specialty gift products. Based in Gettysburg, Pa., the Company was acquired by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts in 1998 and is traded on the NYSE. For more information visit: http://www.boydsstuff.com
