Hi!

I'm looking to identify a list of top Affinity Credit Card issuers in
the U.S.  I'm pretty flexible on the criteria -- overall revenues,
card holder debt, number of cards.

By affinity credit cards, I mean credit card companies that will issue
a company card (i.e., Amazon.com branded credit card) or affiliations
(College, High School, Greek Group, Interest group.)

Thanks!
