Commerce Bank cardholders can ride the KC Wheel for free this summer.
The action and excitement of international soccer is arriving in Kansas City, and at Commerce Bank, we’re celebrating this once-in-a-generation moment in a big way. As Kansas City prepares to welcome visitors from around the world, Commerce Bank is marking our hometown’s role on the global stage with experiences designed for the entire community.
Commerce is giving its Visa® cardholders a unique way to be part of the fun. All June long, the iconic KC Wheel will be lit in Commerce green and the Wheel will glow with custom nightly light shows. And from June 14-21, anyone with a Commerce Bank Visa® credit or debit card can ride the KC Wheel for free and bring one guest along at no charge. Cardholders can take advantage of the offer by simply presenting their Commerce Bank Visa® credit or debit card at the KC Wheel ticket counter during the promotional window. Free rides while tickets last.
It’s a simple way to enjoy one of Kansas City’s most popular attractions while the city buzzes with energy. With climate-controlled gondolas and sweeping 360-degree skyline views, the KC Wheel offers a memorable way to experience Kansas City during this historic summer.
Whether you’ve ridden the Wheel before or have been waiting for the perfect reason to try it, this is a great opportunity to take in the views and enjoy the atmosphere of a historic summer in KC.
“We want people to feel the excitement of this moment,” said Paula Petersen, executive director, retail segment & strategic services, Commerce Bank.
“Offering free rides on the KC Wheel is our way of saying thank you and inviting members of the community to be part of something truly special happening right here in Kansas City.”
