Join NYPAY and FinTech Connector for an insightful discussion on the evolving landscape of credit card rewards and loyalty programs. Industry experts will analyze the factors contributing to the possible decline of these programs and provide an in-depth look at current challenges.
Almost three quarters (71%) of Americans have a credit card that offers rewards, and of those nearly half choose their cards based upon the rewards of that card. These rewards can take various forms, such as cash back or travel points. With rewards having such a large impact on the payment card landscape, it is not surprising that the future of reward programs is one of the top topics of interest of NYPAY and FinTech Connector members.
