Cards Briefs: Discover Puts Computer Seller's Name in Lights

Discover Financial Services is wrapping up an advertising venture that let Cyberian Outpost Inc. advertise on its video screen overlooking Times Square in New York City for four weeks, including the New Year's weekend.

The on-line computer retailer is also a featured merchant on Discover ShopCenter, an on-line shopping link service that offers promotions to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter's Discover card users.

Outpost.com gets direct links from Discover ShopCenter, and cobranded banners have been placed at various sites around the Internet.
