One place you'd use something like this is for corporate gifts. In such a situation the goal is not the "thoughtfulness" you might aim for if you were buying a present for a friend. The buyers want something asymptotically close to cash.
- netcan 16y agoSomething similar is extremely common in Israel. I think they evolved from lunch vouchers issued by companies to their employees and accepted by local restaurants. At this point they are basically currency accepted at at restaurants, supermarkets, clothes shops and issued by issuing companies. I think it's driven by a combination of tax reasons and differentiation from cash.
- ffumarola 16y agoHaving worked in a corporate environment, these would be great. Giving gift cards is already a hassle (all the approvals you need to get), and you have to try and get GCs that your employees will like.
