top-up card

Balance addition voucher

A top-up card is a prepaid card used to add credit to a mobile phone, electricity meter, or similar pay-as-you-go service.

You purchase the card, scratch off a panel to reveal a code, and enter it to increase your balance: I need to buy a top-up card before my minutes run out.

Common in regions where prepaid services dominate over monthly contracts.
