 Could you explain what an account card is?
Is it a credit card, a bank account card, cash card, milage card, or what?
Thank you. I really apprecate your kind attention.  |

It depends how it is used, but mostly I would say it is like a bank account card or cash card. But it doesn't have to be with a bank. For example, if I go to a casino, instead of carrying lots of money in my pockets, I can go to the customer service counter and deposit money and get an account card to use at the slot machines.
At my old university, student residents (those who lived on campus) would have to buy a "meals" account card that they could use at any of the cafeterias or restaurants on campus. It was good for a set number of meals per day or week, or a money value limit at the on-campus restaurants. |
