A prepaid card is a payment card loaded with a fixed amount of funds. It can be branded by a major network (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX) for use anywhere those cards are accepted, or branded by a specific merchant for use only at that retailer. Companies use them for employee rewards, customer incentives, and partner programs.

Visa and Mastercard cards work at the same merchants in the U.S. and have nearly identical acceptance worldwide. The biggest practical differences for incentive programs are activation paths (Visa cards activate online; Mastercard cards activate by phone) and brand preference among recipients.

Digital cards arrive instantly by email or SMS and have the lowest fulfillment cost; they suit time-sensitive, high-volume programs (surveys, instant rewards). Physical cards feel more like a gift, are easier to redistribute through team leads, and remain the default for employee recognition and holiday programs.

Open-loop cards are branded by a payment network (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX) and accepted anywhere that network is accepted. Closed-loop cards are branded by a specific merchant and only spendable at that retailer. Open-loop maximizes recipient flexibility; closed-loop is typically lower cost per dollar of value and steers spending to a specific brand.
