TUMWATER, WA--(Marketwire - Feb 29, 2012) - Although the Olympia Brewery in Tumwater closed in 2003, fans of Olympia Beer now have a new way to show their colors -- a Gold Visa affinity credit card offered by O Bee Credit Union to celebrate the popular local icon. Working with Pabst Blue Ribbon, the current owners of the iconic images of Olympia Beer, O Bee Credit Union negotiated the licensing for the use of the Olympia brand on this Gold Visa card, which will become officially available on March 12th.
"We are excited because it means the Oly brand and icon are returning to Tumwater where it originated," notes Lee Wojnar, Vice President of Marketing for O Bee. "We expect this Visa card to be very popular with our members and the local community." The new card offers 1% cash back with no limits on every purchase. Rate is variable. For details, go to www.obee.com. Anyone interested in the card can apply online 24/7.
