FRENCH STREET, 8TH FLOOR IDit I t: AToWdN GENRAI WIILMINGTON, DELAWARE 19801 571-2500 January 18, 1988 Mr. John G. Davis, Jr. State Election Commissioner 101 Court Street Dover, Delaware 19901 Re: Bank Affinity Cards Opinion No. 88-1001 Dear Commissioner Davis: You have asked whether a proposed plan commonly known as an affinity card violates the Campaign Financing Act, 15 Del. C. c. 80. For the reasons discussed below, it appears that the proposed contract is an arm's length, commercial transaction and not a contribution under the Act. Therefore, the plan is not illegal, per se. In essence, the proposed arrangement is as follows: The Delaware Democratic Party would contract with a credit card serVice company in order to set up and market a so-called affinity group bankcard for interested supporters of the Party. The Company would contract with a bank to issue the card and service the card users' accounts. In return for its participation in this arrangement, which includes use of the Party's name and mailing lists, the Party would receive a royalty or license fee.
