Last night (before going to sleep), another idea occured to me:
"cash equivalents", or "cash equivalent vouchers"

Sorry, I only noticed now that this has already been suggested.

"dalehileman, interesting website. I didn't see the answer though."

Understandable and in fact likely. If you have the time and energy however, return to
the "reverse dictionary" page and change one or more of the words

Ha! you are back! I'm vouching for your option.

I'll add my 2 cents (ha ha): spend-only credit

Don't know exactly what spend-only credit means, but it seems to me that you're far too generous.

It's not the word you're looking for, but there is a word "lagniappe" that is related. It could be useful to you in the future.

It would seem redundant at first blush, but when considering the mechanics of credit financially, and the use of the word in common society, it isn't. What it means to me is some form of credit, such as those our petitioner mentioned, that can only be spent, and cannot (generally) be renewed with more "credit", distinguishing it from the unembellished term "credit", which is so strongly linked with "card", that most people think of it as something you may draw upon over and over. Does that make it any clearer, Bran? I would be curious to know what Haller thinks... :0)

I made the comment on your 2 cents, which made me laugh.
The credit business is mystery world to me. I have a creditcard to buy some books and music online. I pay my bills quick as the devil, because I do not understand renewed credit, debet and such. No use explaining, I'm credit blind.

And undoubtedly that is a good way to be, considering the way
people are going into so much debt these days. Pay it off as
soon as possible.
