The card was the first of its kind and was the catalyst of the electronic
debit cards in the $100 billion incentive market. She also lead the
development on the stored-value incentive product Your Choice Card
and a stored-value Gasoline Card. In their first two years of operation
these products generated over $200 million in revenue.
