Scratch CardScratch Card is a very useful and widely used recharge medium. Through scratch cards any customer can recharge his/her mobile number, both Prepaid and Postpaid, at any point of time and anywhere. Even in odd business hour, bad weather and political turmoil in the country, anybody can easily use the scratch card for emergency account refill. Moreover it's widely available all over Bangladesh irrespective of geographic location such as rural, urban, sub-urban areas. Customer can purchase different denominations of scratch cards even from local stationary shops.
At present Grameenphone provides 4 (four) denominations of recharge based scratch cards, e.g. 10Tk, 20Tk, 50Tk & 100Tk. Recently GP has introduced a different type of scratch card which can be used for specific Internet package activation. This scratch card is named as 15Tk Internet Scratch Card.
