The standard argument for using gift cards in an incentive program is that they are more tangible than cash and more appreciated than giving a specific product, which the recipient may or may not really want.
But while gift cards in the past have served as a gift of last resort, many companies are beginning to use cards in corporate reward programs to promote company priorities and tighten brand association within their workforce.
Customizing a gift card with a company's logo or colors is fast becoming a standard option from an increasing number of card distributors, and more companies are devising lists of specific behaviors, in line with corporate mission statements, that justify the receipt of a card.

The Home Office’s national identity cards programme has come in for considerable criticism since it was first proposed as a benefits entitlement scheme in 2002.
Many countries have ID cards, but the UK scheme, based on the creation of a central identity register holding personal data and 13 biometrics (face, two irises, 10 fingers) for the entire adult population, has no precedent.
The plan to introduce the first cards by 2008 was announced in 2003, at a time when the enabling legislation was expected to be passed before last May’s General Election so the procurement could start in June.

He's got a pair of eights showing and all of a sudden, he starts betting as though his hole card is a third eight, which will beat the pair of aces you've got showing.
Because while Parker is, indeed, charming and welcoming, he's also prone to playing his cards extremely close to his chest.
In short, he's an exceptionally astute businessman, and at an age when most people have been retired for a number of years, Parker's still actively overseeing his two hotels, his ranch, a third property currently being developed, and the Santa Barbara County winery that bears his name.
