Abstract
Methods for distributing and activating prepaid credit cards are presented. The prepaid credit cards are made available to consumers in various locations including retail outlets, department stores, financial institutions, and other convenient places. Consumers purchase a prepaid credit card in a desired denomination and then activate the card. The card can be activated over the phone, in combination with a purchase, or at a special kiosk. Once the card has been activated, the consumer can use the card as a normal credit or debit card. When the initial value of the card is depleted, the card can be refilled with additional funds.
