MasterCard Affinity Card?

Does any airline or hotel offer a MasterCard affinity card? After more than 12 years with First USA MasterCard (with no appreciable benefits to me) I'd like to switch to one that will provide some points or miles. I know of at least a couple through VISA (Marriott, Southwest) but haven't found MC. Info?

Chase Manhattan Bank offers a Mastercard credit card tied in to Continental's OnePass. They also offer a debit Mastercard. Unlike the credit card, which offers one mile per dollar spent, the debit card offers a mile for every $2 spent.

If I remember correctly, Midwest Express also offers an affinity MasterCard.

UA/ First Chicago (Gold Only)
HA/ Wells Fargo
AS/ Seafirst (BankAmerica)
AA/ Citigroup
TW/ European American Bank


For service, Citigroup is probably tops.

You might consider a World Mastercard, which is offered by First USA and rewards free tickets on any airline.

What's the best card for Bluebonnet in the vast array of products out there? Which has the greatest signup bonus? And which is the cheapest to maintain? Which offers the most flexibility? DC would be excellent with the great signup bonus and flexibilty, if it were accepted at more places-but it's not! I'd probably otherwise just get a card for the airline I travel most on!
