Description

The embodiments of the claimed financial transaction card with stake as illustrated herein include a first portion and a second portion, which can be broken off or otherwise separated from the first portion. The first portion is useful as a gift card, credit card, debit card, or other card adapted for access to a financial account or record, for example, a card that can be recharged or “reloaded” at the direction of a user of the card. Such first portion optionally includes a bar code (as illustrated in broken lines in FIG. 3), magnetic stripe, RFID device, computer chip, electronic device, or other element for accessing the financial account or record. In one embodiment, the second portion is useful as a ground stake, for example, to mark where a plant has been planted in the ground or in a pot.
