Short Take: Earthlink offers Visa

Internet service provider Earthlink and MBNA America Bank have paired to offer a new Visa card that features incentives for shopping online, giving Earthlink Mall shoppers access to discounts. Citing strong online sales during the 1998 holiday season, Earthlink plans to roll out the card with cash-back incentives on all purchases made with the card. The firms call the card "the official credit card of the Net."
