Abstract
A gift card, debit card, or similar instrument and an associated system are capable of restricting purchase transactions to predesignated authorized merchandise or excluding from purchase transactions predesignated unauthorized merchandise. To facilitate this an account that does not permit one or more items or services to be purchased using the account may be established in an account system. The account system receives identification information for an item or service requested for purchase, and the system also receives identification information for the account requested to be used to pay for at least a portion of the item or service requested for purchase. The system determines whether or not the item or service requested for purchase is authorized for purchase using the account. If not, the system denies the use of the account to pay for any portion of the item or service requested for purchase. The scope of the items and/or services authorized for purchase with the card may be set and modified online.
