The server includes a memory containing a data structure for storing information relating to using the frequent shopper card as a phone calling card. The memory includes fields which store the account information associated with the frequent shopper card, and fields which store the first and second personal identification numbers. A computer program product includes a computer storage medium having a computer program code mechanism embedded in the computer storage medium for causing a computer to allow the frequent shopper card to be used as a phone calling card. The computer program code mechanism includes a first code device configured to issue the transfer certificate with the predetermined phone time, at the terminal; and a second code device configured to add the predetermined phone time to the account, at the server.

La mémoire comprend des zones pour le stockage d'informations comptables en rapport avec la carte magasin, et d'autres zones pour l'enregistrement des premier et second numéros d'identification personnelle. Un programme informatique comprend un moyen de stockage avec mécanisme de code intégré, grâce auquel l'ordinateur autorise l'emploi de la carte magasin comme carte téléphonique.
