Chase uses Facebook to win college students

To market its credit card to college students, JP Morgan Chase is using Facebook as a core tactic. As the exclusive credit card sponsor, Chase has access to Facebook users, who will spend an average of 19 minutes a day on the site updating their profile, or browsing through their friends.

Facebook members see banner ads inviting them to join a special Chase network or can go directly to the Chase+1 card search. Cardholders earn "karma" points for their actions, like paying their bills on time, which they can use to get gift cerficates, make a charity donation, or earn “fraternity prizes” such as TVs.
