• CASH CARDS
  
  Cash cards, often called gift cards, are similar to prepaid phone cards and contain a set amount of value, which can be read by a special cash card reader. Participating retailers will use the reader to debit the card in increments until the value is gone. The cards are like cash -- they have no built-in security, so if lost or stolen, they can be used by anyone.
