CitiBank Courts Co-Eds with Character Credit Cards

We were lollygagging on MySpace because apparently we never have anything better to do (this is our second mention this evening) when a funny Citibank ad caught our eye.

To promote its student-targeted credit cards Citi’s got this weird campaign with haphazardly drawn college students. In the one we saw, the head of an oft-complimented girl expands until she floats away like a balloon.

The co-ed courting credit cards include Citi Bronze (for Jet Setters), Citi Dividend Platinum (for the Cash Fan) and the Citi MTVU card (for the Rewards Junkie).

We love little characterizations like that. What better way to sniggle us into a frightening APR than to give each one a personality? If we weren’t debating Jet Setters or Rewards Junkies we’d probably still be on Rachel or Monica.
