Abstract

See full text

A free sample account transaction payment card to a user of a kiosk is provided. The method includes receiving a selection of a free sample from a database. Each free sample is associated with an account issued to a sponsor who is financially responsible for the cost of providing the sample to a customer, where the account is acceptable by a merchant for payment for distributing the sample to a consumer. The method further includes retrieving, from the database, to memory in the kiosk, a rendering image and sample information including the account, a quantifier for the sample, and a good or service. The sample information is then written from the memory in the kiosk to a memory location in a free sample account transaction payment card stored within the kiosk and a hard copy of the rendering image is rendered on a surface of the free sample account transaction payment card.
