Sometimes when you put two powerful brands together, the brand combination can result in a complicated quagmire of communications. (Say that three times fast!) But when Walmart and Capital One partnered to create the new Capital One Walmart Rewards Credit Card, they did a great job of keeping it simple — at least from the marketing materials* we were able to gather. In fact, we were pretty impressed with the clean and clear materials designed to help with migration, acquisition and EMOB communications.
Starting in October, cardholders of the Walmart Credit Card issued through Synchrony were automatically migrated to the new Capital One card, and acquisition efforts for new cardholders began.

All in all, we were very impressed with the simplicity and clarity of the card’s initial communication efforts. Instead of burying the messages under two distinct and ownable brands, Capital One and Walmart wisely chose to stay out of the
