MUMBAI: Time Warner continues to expand its presence in China. Its consumer products division and the Bank of China's (BOC) credit card division have announced the launch of the first Looney Tunes MasterCard and mini Looney Tunes Mastercard in Hong Kong.

The new card comes in two classic Looney Tunes designs and is accompanied by a mini card. The choices featuring Looney Tunes include a Tweety emblazoned Mastercard, accompanied by a mini card featuring Sylvester, or a Mastercard featuring Bugs Bunny, paired with a mini card featuring Taz.

With its innovative design, the mini cards are easily portable and can be added directly to a keychain for easy retrieval. The mini card also comes with a carrying case to showcase the cards design. Both cards are linked to the same account, which ensures easy account management.

Until 31 August 2004, each applicant will be eligible for a three year annual waiver, and will also receive a free gift. Through purchases, transfers, or cash advances, new cardholders can receive gifts such as a Looney Tunes Bean Bag after they have accrued HK$3,000 or a Tweety MP3 Player after HK$5,000.
