Abstract
A debit card in the form of a telephone calling card is formed as a rectangular configured, planar card member that is wallet sized and has front and rear surfaces. The rear surface includes instructions for telephone dialing. A scratch-off label strip has been adhered to the rear surface. The scratch-off label strip has opposing sides and one side has a self-adhesive positioned thereon that removably adheres to scratch-off label onto the planar card member. The other side has a PIN code field containing a printed PIN (personal identification number) thereon. A control code field is positioned adjacent the PIN code field and has a control code printed thereon. A scratch-off layer covers only the PIN code field to obscure from view the PIN while leaving unobscured the control code field.
