2012, John Levine remarked:
The gift cards at my supermarket are AmEx and Visa branded. More
likely there aren't enough prepaid cards in the UK for National
Rail to have noticed.

Maybe I'll send one to Roland and he can see if he can buy a train
ticket with it.

Note to casual observers: John and I have met in our day jobs, so this
may not be an idle threat.
