ABSTRACT:
Method for distribution of value codes configured to be cashed in to obtain credit for services subject to charges. The value codes are generated and stored in a database of a value code issuer. A value code is ordered by a customer through transmission of order data, containing at least one monetary amount value, via an order channel, to the value code issuer. A delivery number, linked in the database with the value code, is transmitted via a delivery channel to the customer, and the receipt of the transmitted delivery number is confirmed by the customer through transmission of at least one part of the delivery number via a confirmation channel to the value code issuer. A value, linked in the database to the monetary amount value, is transmitted via a delivery channel to the customer, and a monetary amount value corresponding to at least the monetary amount value linked to the confirmed value code is charged to the customer.
