Which of the following is a legitimate ARC card category accepted by participating carriers?

• A. Gift cards
• B. Loyalty cards
• C. Bankcards
• D. Cryptocurrency cards

Answer: (C)

In ARC, payments are organized by the type of card used. Bankcards are the standard bank-issued cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.) that carriers recognize for ticket settlements. This category is widely accepted by participating carriers, making it a valid ARC card category. Gift cards and loyalty cards are different concepts and aren’t recognized ARC payment categories for carrier settlements, and cryptocurrency-based cards aren’t supported in ARC’s recognized card categories. So, bankcards best fit the ARC category that participating carriers accept.
