Via pfdigest, this actually exists: the Saturday Night Live MasterCard from Comenity Bank (which also issues the Virgin America card).
The signup bonus? An “exclusive SNL™ leather wallet” after $500 in spend within 180 days.
The card earns double points on entertainment and 4x on entertainment purchases on Saturdays. According to pfdigest, entertainment includes
- airlines, amusement Parks, art dealers, bakeries, casinos/gambling, cable, cruises, restaurants, hotels, movies, record stores, transportation, and video rental.
It’s unclear what the points are worth, however. I’d bet not a lot (some amount not to exceed a penny per point I’d imagine, once the rewards catalog becomes accessible).
This is an amazing card that’s been in the works for years. Although I always expected that the co-brand would be issued by the First CityWide Bank of Change.

So glad you included the First CityWide ad, one of the all-time classics!
I have heard that one of the redemption options is for Schweddy balls.
Any idea if this is churnable? I can’t imagine one “exclusive SNL™ leather wallet” would be enough.
I’m surprised it isn’t issued by Chevy Chase Bank (now Capital One). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_Chase_Bank
Why would Saturday Night Live promote an affinity card that bonuses entertainment spend on Saturdays, which is effectively its own competition? This Saturday — take a flight, go out to dinner, see a movie, gamble with your friends — do whatever you want so long as you don’t stay home and watch Saturday Night Live on TV!
Would this be 4 cents per dollar on airfare?!
CHA, I can’t tell at this point. The rewards site isn’t functional so we can’t tell how much a point is worth, plus Comenity won’t say on its website what counts as “entertainment”. The list of categories that qualify come from a customer service rep. It *could* be 4x on airfare, but who knows.

Nice card review, but you forgot to ask one crucial question: does it work as a floor wax AND a dessert topping?
