The Meijer credit card is positioned to be launched in partnership with Citi Retail Services to offer consumers a co-branded card that suits their needs. The credit card was announced thanks to a new long-term agreement between the retailer and the financial services brand, and will offer consumers with access to an array of great benefits. The card will be available starting March 1 and will be mailed to existing Meijer cardholders from mid-February.
President and CEO of Meijer Rick Keyes spoke on the new Meijer credit card saying, "At Meijer, we’re always looking for ways to provide value to our customers. We believe this new relationship with Citi Retail Services will extend benefits to our customers while also providing them yet another way to shop our stores."
