Prepaid Cards

Increasingly common at the checkout counters of various retail establishments, prepaid cards allow users to purchase products and services without using their credit cards. This concept is even more interesting in the world of the Internet as more than 60% of people do not use credit cards for online purchases due to security concerns or because they simply don’t have one.

One significant advantage of the prepaid card is that it must be activated by the cashier upon purchase. If the card is not activated, the user will not be able to access the product or service it was intended to provide. Plus, stealing prepaid cards prior to activation is useless as they have no value.

Combining an ibrid^® CD-ROM with a prepaid card can provide interesting opportunities as this type of CD-ROM may be used to allow access to a given Website (where the card must be used) in addition to allowing for the presentation of additional content directly on the CD-ROM (instructions, user guides, videos, applications for using the service, photos, musical pieces, multimedia applications, etc.).

Prepaid cards are ideal for paying online subscriptions, adding funds to an account or buying music or any other product via the Internet.
