Method, Apparatus, and Computer Program Product for Allowing Payment Cards Issued for Only Limited Duration Use to be Reused Multiple Times to Reduce the Overall Cost of Issuance

摘要

A recyclable contactless payment device is issued to a first patron of a venue. Use of the contactless payment device at the venue by the first patron is facilitated, as is return of the contactless payment device by the first patron for recycling. The contactless payment device is deactivated and stored. The issuing and facilitation of use are repeated for at least a second patron of the venue, with the same recyclable contactless payment device.
