I think it is just a matter of time before we see a new marketing ploy from bowling ball companies.
How long will it before we see the "Brunswick Card", "Track Card" or "Storm Card"? Think about, Walmart, Target, KMart and just about everyone else has their own company credit cards. They could give extra "bonus points" to you when you purchase one of their balls with it.
I think it just a matter of time before we see this happening. It will probably be a Visa or something that you could use everywhere but you could still get bonus points for purchasing equipment from the specific company, thus encouraging you to purchase more.
Just a thought....
