In late 2006
Scott Barnhill's Security One Card invention received its first
licensing deal with the introduction of the BKFK eCOM Gift Card.
Scott's unique
invention will be the significant technological feature of the BKFK
gift card, developed by pre-paid card specialists eCOM
Financial.
Dubbed the
"Allowance Card", the BKFK eCOM Gift Card allows parents to reward kids
while tracking their purchases.
The card's major
feature
is Scott's invention which, together with back-end
software already developed by eCOM Financial, will enable multiple
retail promotions all to exist and activate from one magnetic strip.
Scott's idea was
to combine multiple cards into one and he designed a magnetic card
system whereby a retail store, to a hotel, to a gas company could give
the card holder an additional magnetic strip for an already existing
plastic card. The additional strip would contain the information for
that specific company only and one card will then be multi-functional
and
would streamline the wallet.

| At age 9,
Scott was searching for the key card to get into his family’s
hotel room. In order to find it he had to sort through a clutter of
credit cards in his father’s wallet. The problem was that
there was a different plastic card for everything from airline mileage
clubs to YMCA memberships to hotel room keys to gas cards. Even in
school he had an I.D. card, a bookstore card and a door entry card. |
