ABSTRACT:
A method and assembly for allowing prepaid telephone calling credit to be provided in conjunction with a greeting card. The greeting card assembly generally comprises a greeting card, an envelope having an inside pocket adapted to receive and hold the greeting card, and a unique visually discernible calling card access identifier. The access identifier designates a prepaid account having a predetermined amount of telephone calling credit against which telephone calls can be charged. In a preferred embodiment, the liner is attached to the envelope and the access identifier is affixed to the liner in the envelope. A section of the liner is removable and surrounds the access identifier to facilitate carrying of the access identifier apart from the envelope. Also in this embodiment, an opaque covering is placed over the access identifier prior to sale of the assembly to prevent misappropriation of the access identifier.
