Don and Ryan have the server, or other intermediator, leave his printed card stating the "reason" and the recipient is to use that same card in his/her next action.
I learned RAK from my dad over half a century ago. Since he was a farmer and here a lot, it wasn't unusual for someone needing help specially with cars on our then muddy roads. He'd pull someone out with the tractor, they'd offer to pay him and he's simply tell them to pass on the favor by doing something nice for the next guy.
Of course, the folks in our area lived that way. Go help Joe today, help Gus on Tuesday, everyone here to help us on Saturday!
