Carowinds doesn't have a co-branded credit card, but it does have Cash-to-Card kiosks at the park. That means you can deposit your cash to get a prepaid debit card that you can use anywhere with no fees, to make paying for food and more at the park easier. Carowinds is entirely cashless, so you'll need this park to pay for souvenirs and food, or you'll need ot have your own credit or debit card.
