Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation (CON) of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/683,294 entitled “System and Method for Granting Promotional rewards to Credit Account Holders,” filed Dec. 14, 2003, which claims priority to Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/417,658, filed Oct. 11, 2002, which are both incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention is generally related to data processing techniques for enabling bank customers to earn promotional rewards. More particularly, the present invention is related to a data processing technique for allowing a Bank's existing credit cardmembers to earn promotional rewards for specific triggering behaviors in a specific time frame, wherein the rewards can be targeted to specific cardmembers or groups.
- Rewards are given to customers by merchants for various reasons, including to encourage certain consumer behaviors and also to strengthen relationships between Banks and customers. Rewards can also be used to strengthen the relationships between merchants and customers, such as when a Bank offers a merchant-related reward such as a gift card, or when a merchant or affiliated Bank offers a reward for using a particular credit card with the merchant.
- There is a recognized need in the financial services industry to attract and retain loyal customers. A loyal customer is one who uses a single Bank for all or a significant number of banking relationships and does so over an extended period of time. This need is particularly important to Banks in small and medium sized communities where regionally and nationally marketed financial services have attracted customers away from local institutions. This need is also important to Banks that compete in small and medium-sized communities to attract customers, and also to Banks that compete in highly competitive markets where customers are offered a wide variety of investment and other banking relationship options, some of which may individually be very enticing to existing customers of other banks.
- Thus, incentive reward programs for rewarding customers, particularly repeat or ongoing customers, have become increasingly common in a variety of industries. Well known examples of the use of incentives to attract and reward repeated customer patronage are airline frequent flyer programs. In airline frequent flyer programs the customer is awarded points, often expressed in terms of “miles traveled” for each use of a particular airline or its partners or affiliates. Additional points or “miles” are awarded for use of ancillary services such as car and hotel room rentals. Other examples of customer incentive programs include the trading stamp programs once popular in the grocery retail trade.
- The implementation of a customer incentive program for Bank customers has complexities not found in customer incentive plans in other industries. The relationships between the Bank and any customer may be quite numerous and complex, involving a number of different kinds of accounts and interactions. Most other incentive programs require tracking of only one customer factor such as miles traveled in a frequent flyer program or the total dollar volume of purchases in a grocery store trading stamp program.
- There can exist a great deal of variation among Banks in the types of financial services offered and emphasized. In particular, different Banks may wish to establish different scoring systems for the various types of consumer-bank relationships and consumer behaviors, depending on which relationships and behaviors are found to be the most profitable by the Bank, Bank partners, and third parties who offer rewards to Bank customers. Further, each Bank may wish to establish a different award structure of incentives, depending upon that Bank's perception of the benefits of the program in relation to the costs of the incentives and the needs of its particular community.
- Furthermore, for an incentive program to be fully effective as a tool for attracting and retaining long-term customers, it is desirable for the Bank's management to be able to monitor customer behaviors and the relationships between the Bank and its customers, as individuals and as groups. The Bank may thus be able to identify significant opportunities for marketing its financial services by evaluating customer behaviors and relationships and the appeal of those behaviors and relationships to customers.
- To these ends, Banks have developed a wide variety of rewards programs to attract and retain customers. Typically, a reward program of a financial product such as a credit card will allow customers to earn rewards in a predetermined rewards system. There is typically one type of reward, a base reward, and one type of method of earning the reward. For instance, some Banks offer a 1% cash rebate each time a customer uses a platinum credit card issued by the Bank. Other incentive rewards programs may offer a reward in the form of reward currency, such as frequent flyer miles or points, which can be used to purchase other rewards or benefits.
- Further, the universe of reward-earning behaviors for such rewards programs is limited. Rewards are typically earned by charging more transactions on a credit card account. Special rewards also may be earned by purchasing from a particular Bank partner (“Partner”). Finally, rewards can be earned by accomplishing certain tasks or exhibiting certain behaviors, such as by opening a bank account. However, prior art reward systems typically cannot differentiate transactions (or other reward-earning behaviors) beyond these limited criteria of dollar amount and merchant.
- Thus, prior art rewards programs typically have limited reward-earning behaviors that earn limited rewards. While Banks have successfully encouraged cardmembers to use their credit cards by offering a rewards program associated with the card, Banks typically do not continually provide additional promotional rewards programs targeted to specific customers or groups, wherein rewards are earned through specific triggering behaviors. What is needed is a robust and efficient system of offering a plurality of promotional rewards programs to individual cardmembers or classes of cardmembers, wherein the rewards programs enable customers or customer groups to earn a variety of rewards by accomplishing a variety of behaviors and/or transactions. It is further desirable to have a rewards program system that is customizable across a wide variety of variables.
- Generally speaking, the foregoing needs are fulfilled by providing in one exemplary embodiment a system and method for providing promotional rewards. First, a promotional reward is communicated to a customer. The promotional reward offer comprises a promotional reward associated with a promotional reward-earning behavior and a promotional time frame. The offer may specify a customer population, and the customer may be enrolled in the promotional reward program if the customer is determined to be in the population. The customer is credited a promotional reward if the customer accomplishes the promotional reward-earning behavior within the promotional time frame. The customer may also be enrolled in a base reward program, and the promotional rewards may be accumulated in a customer account along with the base rewards.
- In another embodiment, a system is provided for implementing a promotional rewards program. An offer setup processor generates offers for one or more promotional rewards programs. Each promotional rewards program enables one or more customers to earn one or more rewards by accomplishing one or more specific reward-earning behaviors during a specific time frame. The one or more customers are also enrolled in a base rewards program. An enrollment processor enrolls customers into one or more promotional rewards programs by processing offer data and customer account data. A qualifying processor processes customer transaction data to determine whether a customer transaction earns a reward pursuant to an offer.
- In yet another embodiment, a computer-readable medium encoded with computer program code is provided for implementing a promotional rewards program. A customer is offered promotional reward earnings that can be accumulated in a customer rewards account pursuant to a promotional rewards program. Promotional reward earnings and base reward earnings are accumulated in the customer rewards account. The promotional reward earnings are accumulated pursuant to the promotional reward program, and the base reward earnings are accumulated pursuant to a base reward program.
- Other embodiments could be considered.

FIG. 3A illustrates a promotional rewards engine system according to an embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 3B illustrates additional features of the promotional rewards engine system ofFIG. 3A . -
FIG. 1 illustrates the process flow of a typical rewards engine according to the prior art. First, a rewards program system is created instep 1. The systems and processing environments at the Bank, the card processor, and the Bank Partners are established for processing the rewards functions. Rules defining the reward program are specified. For instance, it may be specified that all platinum credit cardmembers will receive a 1% cash rebate for all platinum credit card transactions. - In
step 2, a cardmember (or cardmember population) is enrolled in the reward program. - In
step 3, enrolled customers earn and accumulate rewards according to the rewards program earning rules. To earn and accumulate rewards, the rewards engine receives information relating to customer transactions that earn rewards. - In
step 4, an earned reward is redeemed, and the reward is removed from the customer's account. - In
step 5, the reward is fulfilled, and the customer actually obtains the reward. In the case of a rebate check, fulfillment occurs when the check is actually printed and mailed, or otherwise delivered or transferred to the customer. - In
step 6, the customer reward and/or account is serviced. This may comprise any actions taken with regard to customer service or otherwise ensuring that the customer appropriately received the reward, or otherwise ensuring that any of the prior steps took place properly. For instance, a reward may be serviced when a customer calls to complain that the reward was never received, or that an inappropriate amount was debited from a reward account. - In
step 7, the Bank may audit or otherwise monitor the rewards program. - It should be noted that in the prior art method of
FIG. 1 , a customer account is enrolled in only one rewards program at a time. -
FIG. 2 shows a flow chart of a promotional rewards engine according to an embodiment of the present invention. - The assignee of the present invention has developed a Bank customer incentive program called the “Promotional Rewards Engine” that greatly improves upon the prior art. The Promotional Rewards Engine (“PRE”) is a system that processes promotional rewards offers to existing credit cardmember populations. The PRE allows a Bank (and/or the marketing department of a Bank) to offer one or more additional rewards earning opportunities to credit cardmembers.
- Through the PRE, a Bank offers rewards programs to existing Bank customers so that the customers may earn rewards by performing specific behaviors during a specified time frame. As used herein the term “Bank” is intended to mean all types of financial service institutions, including banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, credit card issuers, and the like, which offer a variety of financial and investment services to customers, such as credit cards; “triggering behaviors” refers to credit card purchases, other account activity, and other consumer behaviors that can trigger the earning of rewards in a rewards program; and the term “reward” is intended to mean some type of consideration or recognition established and given by the Bank, the Bank's partners, or third parties to the customer in recognition of the customer's specific behaviors in the specific time frame, such as gifts, cash rebates, and frequent flyer miles.
- A portion or all of the Bank's customers may be enrolled or participating in any given program, depending on the eligibility rules of the program. A rewards database stores customer-specific reward information for each customer enrolled in the Promotional Rewards Program. Rewards such as rewards currency are automatically calculated based on the triggering behaviors performed by the customer, and earned rewards are awarded either upon demand of the customer, or automatically on an immediate or periodic basis. The point awards may be increased depending on the rules defining the reward program.
- The PRE may interface with a Bank Partners' loyalty and rewards systems. For example, the PRE has the capability to offer and process rewards through a Bank Partner's rewards system, and/or to offer and process a Bank Partner's rewards program through the PRE system.
- The PRE system may be used for any customer or group of customers that have an account with or associated with a Bank. Such accounts may or may not be associated with physical cards, such as plastic credit cards with a magnetic stripe. Accounts may comprise smart card accounts, accounts associated with a radio frequency identification device such as Speedpass™ and EZ Pass™, accounts associated with cardless payments (wherein a cardless account with a user name and alias is associated with another cardmember account), virtual accounts (such as one-time use accounts set up for a special purpose), or other transaction accounts. Such non-traditional accounts may have non-traditional “cards” or other identifiers associated with them. For purposes of the invention, such identifiers are considered cards associated with the account.
- In
step 202 ofFIG. 2 , the Bank administers a base rewards program. Alternately, the base rewards program could be administered by another entity, such as a Bank Partner or third party. The base rewards program may be implemented by a Promotional Rewards Engine (PRE), as referenced above. Customers are enrolled in a rewards program associated with a customer account. Customers may choose from among a variety of rewards programs for a particular customer account. The rewards program is associated with one or more earning behaviors (such as transactions) and one or more rewards which can be earned through those behaviors. - In
optional step 204, the PRE receives Partner rewards program data. The PRE is configured to manage the Bank rewards program as well as the rewards program of Bank Partners who do not manage their own customer rewards earnings and fulfillment processes. Thus,step 204 occurs when the PRE is managing one or more Bank Partner rewards programs. The PRE then handles the management of the Partner rewards program in accordance with the rules governing the Partner rewards program. Depending on the arrangement with the Partner, the method may then proceed tosteps - In
step 206, the Bank creates its promotional rewards program, including the rules defining the program. The rules may be any of the rules described herein, including rules governing the offer, reward, and eligible population. - In
step 208, the PRE creates and stores the offers and rewards. These offers and rewards may be created by theBank Interface 76 and Create Bank Offer &Partner Offer Modules FIGS. 3A & 3B , as described below. The offers and rewards information may be stored in theOffer Database 20 ofFIGS. 3A & 3B . - In
optional step 210, the PRE communicates the offers and rewards to the customers. It may also report the offer and reward information for internal or external auditing purposes. For instance, it may report the information to an internal data collection module such as theReport Module 70 and/orBank Interface 76 ofFIG. 3B . The customers may comprise Bank customers having accounts with the Bank. The customers may also comprise Partner customers, if the PRE has received Partner rewards program information instep 204. Communication with the customer can occur via any means described inFIGS. 3A and 3B . - In
step 212, the PRE enrolls customers in customer reward accounts. The accounts are created and stored, preferably in a database. Each reward account may be associated with an existing customer account. More than one reward account may be associated with a single customer account. Each reward account may be associated with one or more rewards. - In
step 214, the PRE may communicate reward account information to the customer. It may also report the reward account information for internal or external auditing purposes. For instance, it may report the information to an internal data collection module such as theReport Module 70 and/orBank Interface 76 ofFIG. 3B . Such account information may comprise a description of the reward program, the number of the account, and the balance of the reward account. For new accounts, the balance may be zero. There may be a positive balance if the customer is automatically given an initial reward upon enrollment in the rewards program. For instance, a customer who signs up for a checking account may automatically receive a free $5 gift certificate to a Partner retailer, in which case the reward account created for that customer would have a positive balance. The reward account balance may also be positive if it is not a new account, but rather if it is converted from another reward account or portfolio. If the old account had a positive balance, then the new, converted account would carry over a balance. In these cases, the reward balance may need to be converted. For instance, if the prior balance was a number of merchant points, but the converted account offers only frequent flyer miles, then the points may be converted into miles. - In
step 216, the PRE monitors customer transactions and behaviors in order to determine reward earnings. As defined by the reward program, specific transactions and/or behaviors may earn rewards. - In
step 218, the PRE accumulates earnings to the customer reward account based on the customer's reward earning transactions and behaviors monitored instep 216. - In
optional step 220, the PRE communicates the reward earnings to the customer. It may also report the earnings information for internal or external auditing purposes. For instance, it may report the information to an internal data collection module such as theReport Module 70 and/orBank Interface 76 ofFIG. 3B . - In
optional step 222, the PRE may exchange one or more customer rewards for one or more other rewards. This may be at the request of a customer, for example if the customer wants to switch reward programs or reward types. - In
step 224, the rewards are fulfilled. A reward may be delivered to a customer, credited to a customer account, provided to a Partner or third party who will provide the reward to the customer, or otherwise provided to the customer. - In
optional step 226, the PRE communicates the fulfillment of the reward. The PRE may also debit the reward from the customer's reward account. It may also report fulfillment information for internal or external auditing purposes. For instance, it may report the information to an internal data collection module such as theReport Module 70 and/orBank Interface 76 ofFIG. 3B . - The method described above in
FIG. 2 may also include features of the PRE as described inFIGS. 3A and 3B . For instance, the communicating and/or reportingsteps FIG. 2 may be accomplished by theCommunication Module 64 and/or theReporting Module 70 via any of the communication methods described for thoseModules step 206 may comprise any offer rules as described herein, such as with respect to theBank Interface 76, the CreateBank Offer Module 40, and the CreatePartner Offer Module 42. The steps of monitoring transactions andbehaviors 216 and accumulatingrewards 218 may comprise the operations described with respect to the Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors andTransactions Modules Offer Qualification Module 52, and other associated modules, as described below forFIGS. 3A & 3B . -
FIGS. 3A and 3B show the Promotional Rewards Engine (PRE) according to one embodiment of the invention. - As shown in
FIG. 3A , theBank Interface 76 may pass rules and other information to the CreateBank Offer Module 40, the CreatePartner Offer Module 42, theOffer Database 20, the Create RewardsAccount Population Module 44, the Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46, the Interrogate RewardAccount Behaviors Module 48, the Interrogate RewardAccount Transactions Module 50, theOffer Qualification Module 52, theOffer Fulfillment Module 54, theFulfillment Reconciliation Module 56, theCommunication Module 64, and theReport Module 70. TheBank Interface 76 may generate these rules and information or receive them from the Bank. The rules may govern and/or define the Bank's and/or Bank Partners' rewards program(s) by governing and/or defining the operation of theModules Offer Database 20. The various rules are described further in conjunction withFIG. 3B . -
FIG. 3B shows the PRE ofFIG. 3A in greater detail. In the PRE system, any of theProcessors Modules - Still referring to
FIG. 3B , theBank Interface 76 may pass rules or other information to the Modules as described above. A rule may comprise any instruction, parameter, macro, subroutine, program, or any other instruction set that may apply to one or more customers or population groups, one or more rewards or reward programs, any other feature as described below, or any other feature defining a Bank or Partner reward program. For instance, the rules may change the accumulation rules of a rewards program used by the Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors andTransactions Modules - The
Bank Interface 76 may change (or provide rules which change) relationships between the Bank and its Partners, between a customer and any rewards programs associated with the customer, or between the customer and the Bank. For instance, theBank Interface 76 may change the rules defining a reward offered by a Bank or Partner rewards program to a customer or customer population. TheBank Interface 76 may specify the rules governing reward program participation, program transfer, currency conversion, and redemption for specific customers, customer groups, and programs. TheBank Interface 76 may set up rewards currency earning and accumulation algorithms based on defined business rules. TheBank Interface 76 may also setup rules governing the redemption and fulfillment of goods, services, and payments to be provided to customers as rewards. - The
Bank Interface 76 may comprise (or be implemented by) a sub-entity of an issuing Bank, such as the marketing department of the Bank. The Bank Interface may also comprise multiple banks, multiple Bank Partners, or any combination thereof. For instance, the Bank Interface of the PRE may comprise a module that receives reward program information from other banks and Partners. In this way, the PRE may manage the rewards programs of those other banks and Partners. - The
Bank Interface 76 may quickly add new items to rewards catalogs (redemption sets). This is partly because theBank Interface 76 may provide Bank representatives the ability to view and edit the rules defining and governing any of the Modules, including theBank Interface 76. Such authorized representatives may edit and view the Modules via Bank computer terminals, over the Internet, or via other channels. - The
Bank Interface 76 may quickly incorporate new information from other modules and databases to reflect program changes and new offers across servicing channels. - One advantage of having a
separate Bank Interface 76 is that it may be configured to quickly add a new earning algorithm if the new algorithm is to be driven from data already driving other rewards currency earning algorithms. For instance, the Bank Interface's 76 algorithm exists separately and can therefore be modified separately from the data it acts upon. Thus, adding to, subtracting from, or otherwise modifying theModules - The Create
Bank Offer Module 40 and CreatePartner Offer Module 42 apply the rules received from theBank Interface 76 and thereby enable various functions and capabilities related to the setup of the PRE and associated rewards programs. These twoModules Bank Offer Module 40 receives and applies rules and other information related to rewards programs that are created by the Bank itself, whereas the CreatePartner Offer Module 42 receives and applies rules and other information related to rewards programs that are created by Bank Partners. For instance, the CreateBank Offer Module 40 may receive rules related to an offer whereby customers in Alabama earn 1% cash back for all purchases in July that are over $50. The CreatePartner Offer Module 42 may receive rules related to an offer whereby a Partner airline offers double frequent flyer points during the month of February for all Partner purchases. - The
Create Offer Module 40 and CreatePartner Offer Module 42 may set up a program as a set of accumulations rules and redemption options. TheModules - The
Modules Bank Interface 76 may add a cash rebate option to multiple rewards programs or offer travel options to premium rewards accounts, or it may offer the redemption of airline Partner miles to customers who already have a different option. - The
Modules Modules - The specific triggering events are defined according to the specific offer, i.e., the rules defining the offer provided by the
Bank Interface 76. An offer may be classified according to: offer type or subtype; offer delivery channel (i.e., how the offer is communicated to the customer, which may comprise any means of communicating with the customer described herein); offer response channel; start time; end time; offer campaign; internally or externally provided population or population criteria; transaction type; frequency of a specific type of transaction; frequency of total transactions; amount of one or more transactions; minimum transaction amount for triggering earning a reward; maximum transaction amount for earning a reward; earning cap; variable or fixed reward amount; reward amount (or conversion factor, if based on a transaction amount); reward identifier; redemption type (automatic, on-demand, or at a certain date); customer account status (such as closed, frozen, bankrupt, revoked, or otherwise in bad standing); merchant description of the transaction; number of operative time periods; number of tiers (if the offer is a tiered offer); and Partner. For instance, the CreateBank Offer Module 40 may define a rule enabling customers to earn rewards based on the size of their home equity line of credit or credit card balance in one or more rewards programs. The CreatePartner Offer Module 42 may specify one or more Partner rewards that will be earned upon one or more triggering events. - The
Modules Bank Interface 76. The additional rules and information may comprise rules defining an offer and reward of a reward program. TheModules Offer Database Processor 20. As noted above for all Modules, theOffer Database Processor 20 may alternately receive these rules and information directly from theBank Interface 76. - The
Create Offer Module 40 may generate Bank rewards, offers, rules, and other information. It is configured to pass this information to the Create RewardsAccount Population Module 44. Similarly, the CreatePartner Offer Module 42 may generate Partner rewards, offers, rules, and other information. It is configured to pass this information to the Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46. - The Create Rewards
Account Population Module 44 may also receive rules and information from theOffer Database Processor 20. For instance, the Create RewardAccount Population Module 44 may receive rules or other information defining the population eligible to participate in a particular rewards program. Similarly, the Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46 may also receive rules and information from theOffer Database Processor 20. For example, the Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46 may receive rules or other information defining the population eligible to participate in a particular Partner rewards program. - The Create Rewards
Account Population Module 44 and the Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46 receive rules defining a population eligible for a Bank or Partner reward program, respectively. For instance, in theAlabama 1% rebate example described above, the Create RewardsAccount Population Module 44 may receive a rule specifying that the eligible population is all Bank cardmembers who live in Alabama. A Partner airline may offer double frequent flyer miles during the month of February to anyone who has a Partner account, in which case the Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46 may receive a rule defining that the eligible population is everyone who has a Partner account. - The
Modules Bank Interface 76 and the ExternalPopulation Data Processor 58. The ExternalPopulation Data Processor 58 collects population data information from theBank Interface 76,third parties 78, andPartners 80. It passes the population data to theModules - The
Modules Account Data Processor 22, which stores customer account information including population information such as customer addresses. The Create RewardsAccount Population Module 44 and the Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46 may also receive population information from the CreateBank Offer Module 40 and the CreatePartner Offer Module 42, respectively. - Based on received population rules and population information (such as customer account information stored in the Account Data Processor 22), the Create Rewards
Account Population Module 44 and the Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46 generate the populations eligible to participate in Bank and Partner rewards programs, respectively. For instance, an offer may define a population as all customers in Alabama, and the Create RewardsAccount Population Module 44 and Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46 may generate the population of Alabama customers based on customer address data stored in theAccount Data Processor 22 for each customer. - The
Account Data Processor 22 stores and processes information related to customer accounts. Information stored by theAccount Data Processor 22 may comprise personal information about each customer and financial information related to the customer's account. Personal information for a particular cardmember may comprise the cardmember's name, address, social security number, hair color, height, weight, age, product preferences, credit rating, personal information of other authorized users of the account, mother's maiden name, and/or any other personal information. Financial information related to a customer's account may comprise the cardmember's account numbers with the bank, account numbers and other account information of a customer account with a Partner, activity on each account, and any other financial information. Account activity may comprise date, time, location, and amount information for each transaction; transaction type; account payment histories; and any other information account information for acustomer 74. Account activity information is stored at theAccount Data Processor 22 after it is received from theTransaction Data Processor 26, which receives such transaction information from theTransaction Data Module 27, which receives and stores customer transaction information. Any of the data stored in theAccount Data Processor 22 may be used to determine whether customer behaviors earn rewards (i.e., whether a customer behavior is a triggering event). The data may also be used to determine whether a customer is a member of a population. - The
Account Data Processor 22 may provide rules-based access to specific functions and information of theProcessor 22. For example, theProcessor 22 may only allow primaryaccount holder customers 74 to redeem a reward, or it may allow only the controlling account for a small business to redeem or change options of its enrolled programs. Other modules and databases such as theOffer Database Processor 20 may also provide rules-based access to their specific functions and information. For instance, it may not allow the Interrogate RewardAccount Transactions Module 50 the ability to overwrite an offer file stored at theOffer Database 20. - The
Communication Module 64 may receive customer account information or other information from the CreateBank Offer Module 40, CreatePartner Offer Module 42, Create RewardsAccount Population Module 44, Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46, Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors andTransactions Modules Offer Qualification Module 52,Offer Fulfillment Module 54 56, andBank Interface 76. For instance, theCommunication Module 64 may receive names and/or logos of any enrolled rewards programs, rewards/points/currency summaries of those programs, a status report regarding earnings on a customer reward account, or any other information associated with the programs from theOffer Qualification Module 52. - The
Communication Module 64 may communicate information to the customer via the Internet, an account statement, proactive services, a voice response unit, a customer representative (via phone or email), a welcome kit, acquisition offers, inbound telemarketing, outbound telemarketing, direct mail, or any other communication means described herein. - The
Communication Module 64 may customize the customer's statements to include any customer account or reward account transaction, such as transaction history, reward earnings balance, reward earnings history, available reward programs or offers, rewards (such as earned coupons or rebate checks), or other information. For instance, theCommunication Module 64 may communicate to a customer what the customer must do to earn a particular reward (such as the difference between the customer's current transaction volume for a given month and the transaction volume threshold necessary to earn a particular reward), and/or the additional behaviors that must be accomplished after that to earn a second reward (such as for a phased reward, described below). The customer statements may be on paper (via U.S. mail, for example). They also may be available on a webpage or via any other communication means described herein. TheCommunication Module 64 may then integrate such information into account statements sent to the customer, or it may otherwise make such information available to the customer. TheCommunication Module 64 may send the customer the statement or enable the customer to access the statement over a variety of channels, such as a Bank website over the Internet, which may be password-protected. Other channels may comprise email, a customer service telephone number, a voice recognition unit, a bank teller, an ATM, a merchant point-of-sale (“POS”) system, a signature debit payment system, and a PIN debit system. The customer may also communicate with the Bank via cell phone or PDA. - The
Communication Module 64 provides for various capabilities and functions related to servicing the cardmember. For instance, theModule 64 can communicate to thecustomer 74 the number, amount, or nature of earned, redeemed, or fulfilled rewards. - The
Communication Module 64 may provide information (or make information available) to customers, advisors, and/or Bank representatives (such as a servicing department) to disclose the rules for any currency conversion or any other rule. - The
Communication Module 64 provides for various capabilities and functions related to communicating with acustomer 74. TheCommunication Module 64 also generally provides for various capabilities and functions related to offers and communication channels between and among the bank, bank affiliates, third parties, modules, databases, andcustomers 74. - Through the
Communication Module 64, customers may access their accounts and/or redeem currency online or through other self-serve channels.Customer 74 may also change their redemption method online (or via another communication channel). For example, acustomer 74 might change a redemption from automatic to on-demand. In automatic redemption, a reward may be automatically removed from a customer account without any action by the customer. For a cash rebate, the rebate credited to the account may be deducted when a rebate check is mailed to the customer in a monthly statement letter. In on-demand redemption, earnings are deducted from the customer's account when requested by the cardholder. For instance, the rebates may accumulate in the customer's account until the customer requests a rebate check. - The rewards engine may verify the availability of rewards for fulfillment before deducting the reward earnings from the reward account. For instance, the rewards engine may need to verify that a gift is available in inventory before the reward can be fulfilled and delivered. This may occur when the
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 receives reward availability information from theFulfillment Data Processor 68. -
Customers 74 may opt in to various offered rewards programs through theCommunication Module 64. Offered rewards programs may be communicated to thecustomer 74 via theCommunication Module 64. For instance, theCommunication Module 64 may offer rewards promotions through product statements, rewards statements, and other communication delivery channels. - The
Communication Module 64 may provide detail of earnings by specific qualification set or show currency earned for a specified type of event, transaction, or behavior that was set up with different qualifying attributes and calculation methods. For example, theCommunication Module 64 may show Partner purchase points, non-Partner purchases, or event-based rewards. - The
Communication Module 64 may produce periodic summaries of earnings, balances, and redemption activity that can be separate from or part of product account statements. For example, theCommunication Module 64 may produce a free-standing rewards statement. - The
Communication Module 64 may access a customer's reward activity summary through different channels. For example, it may be accessed through paper statement or online inquiry. - The
Communication Module 64 may communicate to a customer via a Partner's or merchant's desired method. For instance, a desired method might be a Partner privileged mileage account Statement or a Partner Internet portal's personalized site. - An advantage of the present invention is that new rewards accumulation methods can be quickly and easily integrated into these
Customer 74 communication channels without specialized knowledge of the PRE system. For example, a new reward program may be displayed on a credit card statement, a demand deposit account (e.g., checking account) statement, or any other statement received by the customer. The customer could also download such information over a computer, cell phone, or personal digital assistant (PDA). - The
customer 74 may interface with theAccount Data Processor 22, the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24, and/or theTransaction Data Processor 26. TheAccount Data Processor 22, RewardsAccount Data Processor 24, andTransaction data Processor 26 are preferably all part of a Bank computer network. Preferably theseProcessors Account Data Processor 22 based on new transaction data received at theTransaction Data Processor 26. - The customer may interface with the
Account Data Processor 22 via Internet, ATM, phone call, or any other method of communicating with a Bank. Thecustomer 74 may customize an individual account by inputting customization information at theAccount Data Processor 22 and/or RewardsAccount Data Processor 24. For instance, the customer may change personal information stored on the account such as the customer's address, or the customer may add another authorized user to a customer account. Multiple customers' accounts, such as all the accounts in a family or business group, could be pooled for a particular reward or multiple rewards. For instance, in a pooled account, earnings from multiple customers could be accrued together toward a particular reward. Alternately, thecustomer 74 may input such information at an access channel that transfers such information to theAccount Data Processor 22, RewardsAccount Data Processor 24, orTransaction Data Processor 26. An access channel may comprise a Bank customer service department, a Bank, a Bank website or other Internet website affiliated with the Bank, an ATM machine, or another communication channel. - The
Account Data Module 22 may receive initial account setup data at the time the customer is applying for the account. For instance, theAccount Data Module 22 may receive the customer's name and other account-related information, and theAccount Data Module 22 may assign the customer an account number. TheAccount Data Module 22 may also associate one or more rewards programs with the customer, e.g., when the Create Rewards Account & Partner RewardsAccount Population Modules - The
Offer Database Processor 20 receives offer and reward instructions and information from theBank Interface 76, the CreateBank Offer Module 40, and the CreatePartner Offer Module 42. TheOffer Database Processor 20 stores this offer and reward information. Preferably, theOffer Database Processor 20 stores each offer. TheOffer Database Processor 20 may allow, disallow, or require participation in a specific reward program depending upon other Partner or brand affiliations associated with the account. For instance, if a customer has an account enrolled in a frequent flyer reward program with one airline, theOffer Database Processor 20 may prevent the account from enrolling in a similar program with another airline. - The Create Rewards
Account Population Module 44 and Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46 request and receive information regarding offers, rewards programs, and rewards from the Offer Database Processor 20 (or directly from Bank Interface 76). For instance, theModules Modules Account Data Processor 22. For instance, theModules Population Data Processor 58 communicates with theBank Partners 80 andthird parties 78 to receive external population data, which it passes to theModules Modules Bank Interface 76. For instance, during the month of February, theModules - In a preferred embodiment, the
Modules Alabama 1% rebate program described above, the Create RewardsAccount Population Module 44 may receive a rule specifying that the eligible population is all cardmembers who live in Alabama. - The Create Rewards
Account Population Module 44 and Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46 process population information and creates populations for the rewards programs. A population may comprise one or more customers who, based on the rules and criteria defining a particular offer, qualify for a particular rewards program associated with the offer. For instance, the population may comprise the set of all Bank platinum credit card account holders whose accounts are not associated with a non-Partner airline. TheModules Modules Modules Communication Module 64, which may communicate such enrollment to thecustomer 74. - The
Modules Account Data Processor 22 and RewardsAccount Data Processor 24. For instance, if the population comprises all customers who live in Alabama, the Create RewardsAccount Population Module 44 may create a rewards account for each cardmember who lives in Alabama. The rewards account would be passed to and stored in the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24. - The Rewards
Account Data Processor 24 stores information regarding each customer rewards account. For instance, theProcessor 24 stores the customer name and account number(s), the rewards account name(s) and number(s) associated with each customer account (there may be more than one rewards account associated with a particular customer account), the accumulation rules of the rewards account, the type of rewards, reward balance, fulfillment information, reward history, and any other reward- or reward account-related information. - Different rewards programs have different enrollment systems and methods. For some rewards programs, cardmembers have the opportunity to enroll in the program at any time after the account is established. To accomplish this, customers may express a desire to enroll in the program by interfacing with the
Account Data Processor 22, the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24, and/or theTransaction Data Processor 26. Customers may input appropriate information at one or more of theProcessors Processor 22 may pass this information to theModules Modules Processor 22. - This ability to enroll can be limited according to the customer, customer group, and program based on configurable rules. The
Modules Modules - Via any communication channels described above, customers may be offered the option to enroll in a reward program at the time of applying for a particular Bank or Partner account. For instance, a customer may apply for an account at the
Account Data Processor 22, and theProcessor 22 may immediately offer the customer to enroll in any account for which the customer qualifies but has not yet entered. There may be special offers tailored only to customers opening new accounts. Customers may also be capable of opting out of a particular program by entering such preference at theAccount Data Processor 22, and during the opt-out process they may be offered another rewards program. TheAccount Data Processor 22 may be configured to automatically offer the customer another rewards program for which the customer qualifies but has not yet been enrolled. - The Create Rewards
Account Population Module 44, the Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46, theAccount Data Processor 22, and the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24 may transfer a customer's or customer group's participation in one program (or multiple programs) to participation in another program (or programs). Alternately, theModules Processors - The Create Rewards
Account Population Module 44, the Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46, theAccount Data Processor 22, and the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24 may establish currency conversion rules for the switch or transfer, so that rewards or points accumulated in one or more programs can be converted to the different rewards or points offered in the other program(s). To facilitate conversion, a universal unit may be used to measure each reward, such as a dollar value, so that dissimilar rewards can be easily converted into each other. The Create RewardsAccount Population Module 44, the Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46, theAccount Data Processor 22, and the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24 may specify allowable program transfer pairs. For instance, the program may allow frequent flyer miles from an airline to be converted to cash rebates or rental car discounts, but it may disallow the conversion of one airline's frequent flyer miles to another airline's frequent flyer miles, or vice versa. - The PRE may allow for terminating a program and de-enrolling one or more customers from a program. For instance, the
Bank Interface 76, theAccount Data Processor 22, andModules Bank Interface 76 may also directly terminate a program or de-enroll customers by inputting information at theAccount Data Processor 22. - The Create Rewards
Account Population Module 44 and Create Partner RewardsAccount Population Module 46 may enable accumulating rewards earnings from activity in accounts in different lines of business to a single customer rewards account. TheModules Partner 80 andthird party 78 account data from the ExternalPopulation Data Processor 58. The Modules may also receive population data from the InternalCustomer Population Processor 82, which stores Bank customer data, or directly from theBank Interface 76. - The
Modules Partners 80 via the ExternalPopulation Data Processor 58. For instance, theModules Modules Modules - The
Modules Modules Partners 80, andthird parties 78. For example, theModules - The
Modules - The
Modules Bank Interface 76 may inform theModules Bank Interface 76 may specify how to convert earnings of the Partner account into another reward with a different Partner. - The Interrogate Reward
Account Behaviors Module 48 and Interrogate RewardAccount Transactions Module 50 process data to match triggering events with customer reward accounts. The Modules may receive triggering event information from theOffer Database Processor 20, theAccount Data Processor 22, or the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24. TheModules Account Data Processor 22 and the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24. - The Interrogate Reward
Account Behaviors Module 48 receives behavior data from the ExternalBehavior Data Processor 60. The ExternalBehavior Data Processor 60 stores information relating to customer behaviors. For instance, theProcessor 60 may receive and store information relating to customer transactions at a Partner airline or hotel, which may or may not be otherwise stored in the system. TheProcessor 60 may also receive customer behavior information such as spending a week at a Partner hotel. - The Interrogate Reward
Account Transactions Module 50 receives customer transaction information from theTransaction Data Processor 26, which stores transaction information for customer transactions involving a customer account. TheTransaction Data Processor 26 receives Bank transaction data from theTransaction Data Module 27. TheTransaction Data Module 27 may comprise a database that receives and stores all transactions on Bank-related accounts. For instance, theTransaction Data Module 27 may receive and store all transactions for all Bank customer credit cards, debit cards, and other accounts. The customer may also process transactions directly through theTransaction Data Module 27, e.g., via secure online payments wherein the transaction information feeds directly into theTransaction Data Module 27. - The Interrogate Reward
Account Transactions Module 50 receives external transaction data from the ExternalTransaction Data Processor 62, which stores customer transaction information that may not involve a customer account. External transaction data may comprise transaction data from Partners. - The Interrogate Reward
Account Behaviors Module 48 receives reward account data from the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24 and customer behavior data from the ExternalBehavior Data Processor 60. - For instance, the Interrogate Reward
Account Transactions Module 50 may determine from the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24 that a customer is enrolled in XYZ rewards program. TheModule 50 may then pull the XYZ program data from theOffer Database Processor 20 and discover that the XYZ program enables customers to earn a small gift for every platinum credit card transaction that has an amount over $50 during the month of February. The Module may then query theTransaction Data Processors Module 50 may then discover that the customer made two purchases in amounts over $50 during the month of February. At this point, theModule 50 could send this earnings information to the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24. Alternatively, theModule 50 could pass this information to theOffer Qualification Module 52, which may then determine if the activities should earn rewards. - When the reward is part of a Partner reward program, such as frequent flyer miles or points for a Partner airline, the Interrogate Reward
Account Transactions Module 50 may pass the earnings information to the ExternalTransaction Data Processor 62, which may pass the earnings information to the Partner rewards system. The rewards in the Partner rewards program could then subsequently be processed by the Partner rather than the PRE. - The Interrogate Reward
Account Behaviors Module 48 operates similarly to the Interrogate RewardAccount Transactions Module 50, except it monitors behaviors instead of Bank transactions. - Whether the
Modules Modules Offer Qualification Module 52. - The
Offer Qualification Module 52 processes this earnings data and determines any reward earnings. For instance, it may determine that a customer did in fact make two purchases over $50 during the month of February, and therefore determine that the customer has earned two rewards. TheModule 52 then checks with the ExternalSuppression Data Processor 28 to determine whether the customer account is eligible to earn rewards. A customer may be ineligible if the customer's account has been suspended, closed, or delinquent, if too many transactions have been disputed, if credit card purchases have been returned and credited back to the account, the account is in bad standing with the Bank, or if the account has any other feature that the Bank considers adverse. If the customer account is eligible to earn rewards, then theModule 52 would then instruct the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24 to amend the customer's rewards account to reflect the earned rewards. - When a reward is earned, the
Module 52 may also pass the earning information to theCommunication Module 64, which can communicate such information to thecustomer 74. TheModule 52 may also pass the earning information to theOffer Fulfillment Module 54. - Some rewards programs may have earnings caps. The
Bank Interface 76 may override such earnings caps and making earnings adjustments to a customer's rewards account. - In one embodiment, a customer may be enrolled in a points program wherein the customer may earn 1000 points for spending one weekend at a Partner hotel in the month of July. The Rewards
Account Data Processor 24 and theOffer Database Processor 20 may pass this information to theModule 48. The customer may then spend a July weekend at the Partner hotel. The ExternalBehavior Data Processor 60 may pass this behavior information to theModule 48. TheModule 48 may acquire and process this data, and finally pass it to theOffer Qualification Module 52. TheOffer Qualification Module 52 may generate instructions to add 1000 points to the customer's rewards account. TheModule 52 would then pass the instructions to the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24, which would add the points to the appropriate customer account. - Similarly, the Interrogate Reward
Account Transactions Module 50 processes rewards. TheModule 50 receives rewards account data from the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24. TheModule 50 receives external transaction data from the ExternalTransaction Data Processor 62 and Bank transaction data from theTransaction Data Processor 26. Bank transaction data may comprise any transactions that involved a Bank account (i.e., for which the Bank has a record). Transactions such as credit card purchases or opening a savings account can also be considered behaviors, and they may be monitored by the Interrogate RewardAccount Behaviors Module 48. External transaction data may comprise any transaction that does not involve a Bank account, e.g., transactions involving Partner accounts. - The Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors and
Transactions Modules Account Data Processor 24. The customer may be enrolled in multiple rewards programs on the same or different accounts. Each qualifying behavior or transaction will cause theModules Account Data Processor 24, and theModules Module - Through instructions from the
Bank Interface 76 or another module, theModules - The Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors and
Transactions Modules Modules - A customer may earn a reward or reward currency for the occurrence of specific triggering events, transactions, and behaviors related to a specific bank product. For instance, customers may earn rewards for payments, purchases, opening an account, first use of a product or account, cash advances, or another reward trigger in a demand deposit account, credit card, or other bank product. However, the
Modules Offer Database Processor 20. - The Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors and
Transactions Modules - Preferably, the Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors and
Transactions Modules Offer Qualification Module 52, may verify that specific customer transactions and behaviors occurred at a specific time and location according to an offer. For instance, if an offer grants rewards for transactions that occur each day after 4 pm at a restaurant, theModules - The Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors and

Transactions Modules Offer Qualification Module 52. - The Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors and
Transactions Modules Modules Modules - Customers may accumulate reward currency earned in multiple Bank products and/or external products into one or more reward currency banks or accounts. For example, customers may earn a special type of rewards or points (“extraordinary rewards”) for credit card purchases and for opening a demand deposit account, and the earned points may be combined in one extraordinary rewards points bank or maintained in two separate points banks.
- The Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors and
Transactions Modules - The Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors and
Transactions Modules - The Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors and
Transactions Modules - Rewards currency may be accumulated as soon as transactions and events are recognized, or they may be accumulated on a monthly account cycle processing. For example, earnings currency may be accumulated at midnight after each day's purchases and behaviors are recorded.
- If a suspended account is later reinstated, the Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors and
Transactions Modules Offer Qualification Module 52 may retro-actively accumulate earnings that were missed due to the suspended status. Such rules or policies may provide additional incentive to customers to improve the status of their account and/or maintain their account in good standing. - The Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors and
Transactions Modules Offer Qualification Module 52 may return or reverse the redemption of rewards currency for a stored value. For instance, theModules - The Interrogate Reward Account Behaviors and

Offer Fulfillment Module 54 allows for the processing of various redemption capabilities and functions. TheModule 54 receives fulfillment data from theOffer Qualification Module 52. The Module also receives external fulfillment data, such as Partner reward information, from the ExternalFulfillment Data Processor 66. TheModule 54 determines where to send the fulfillment of a customer reward and then sends it to the appropriate party. Monetary rewards are passed to theMonetary Gateway 32. - The
Monetary Gateway 32 provides the customer with monetary credits or cash. For instance, theMonetary Gateway 32 may send the customer a check via mail. It may also be able to charge them for shipping fees and other costs. Non-monetary, non-physical rewards such as points, miles, and stored value are passed to theNon-Monetary Gateway 34, which delivers such rewards to the customer, e.g., via a customer account. For some rewards, such as Partner points or miles, theNon-Monetary Gateway 34 may pass the fulfillment information to the ExternalTransaction Data Processor 62 for external fulfillment. In the case of Partner miles, the Partner may pass the miles rewards directly to the customer's frequent flyer account with the Partner. Savings bonds, premiums, and other financial rewards may be passed to theFederal Reserve 36 for fulfillment. The Federal Reserve may then send the customer a reward such as a savings bond, Treasury bill, or other similar reward. - A fee may be charged to a customer for different offerings and/or different combinations of features in rewards programs. For instance, the
Account Data Processor 22 may charge a fee to a customer's 74 account when the customer enrolls in a particular rewards account. For instance, a yearly fee of $10 may be charged for the ability to exchange a customer's earned rewards points for frequent flyer miles with a Bank Partner. Such fees would be specified in the rules defining the offer and or the terms of the account, which may be specified by theBank Interface 76 and stored in theOffer Database Processor 20. Different fees may be charged to different groups of customers for a given feature. For instance, platinum cardholders may have a reduced fee compared to regular cardholders. - The
Monetary Gateway 32 may charge a fee for the use of different redemption methods (e.g., automatic vs. on-demand). For instance, if a customer chooses to use an automatic redemption, then theMonetary Gateway 32 may charge the customer's account through a regular transaction at theTransaction Data Processor 26. The customer's account would then be debited by the appropriate amount as in a regular purchase transaction. For instance, the Bank Interface may have a rule associated with a particular customer's rewards program wherein the on-demand redemption feature will cost $10 in shipping and handling every time the customer redeems a reward. When thecustomer 74 elects to redeem a reward through the Communication Module 64 (or through another appropriate communication means, such as RewardsAccount Data Processor 26 and Account Data Processor 22), the Communication (or other)Module 64 passes such request to theOffer Qualification Module 52 or theOffer Fulfillment Module 54. From there, the reward fulfillment request is passed to theappropriate fulfillment module - The
Monetary Gateway 32 may enable the integration of credit cards and stored value cards (e.g., a combined credit and stored value card). For instance, when an award is posted to a customer account, the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24 may move the reward into a customer stored value account. Alternately, for stored value accounts with Partners and third parties, the value may be added to the stored value account through the regular processing of rewards through theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 and the stored value account provider (i.e.,Third Party 78 or Partner 80). The customer may use the stored value according to the restrictions of the account. For instance, $10 of stored value on a Bank account may enable the customer to purchase $10 of goods or services from merchants who accept the Bank credit, whereas a $10 stored value account at a Partner coffee retailer may only be valid towards the purchase of coffee. - Physical rewards such as merchandise and gift certificates are passed to the
Merchandise Gateway 38. For instance, theMerchandise Gateway 38 may send the customer a fluffy bear or a DVD player. Rewards that will be fulfilled bythird parties 78 orPartners 80 are passed tothird parties 78 orPartners 80, respectively. Finally, rewards may be passed to the ExternalFulfillment Data Processor 66 for external fulfillment, such as when the Bank has contracted with external parties to handle reward fulfillment. - Once the reward is passed to the appropriate party for fulfillment, the
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may notify theCommunication Module 64 of the status of the reward. The Order Fulfillment Module may also debit the reward from the customer's account stored at the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24. - When the reward is ultimately fulfilled by any of the
above elements Offer Fulfillment Module 54 and/or theFulfillment Data Processor 68 that the reward was fulfilled (i.e., that the reward was constructively delivered to the customer). Upon receiving confirmation that a reward was fulfilled (or not fulfilled) fromelements Fulfillment Reconciliation Module 56 may notify theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 and theFulfillment Data Processor 68. - The PRE also enables the effective management of physical reward inventory through the
Merchandise Gateway 38. TheMerchandise Gateway 38 may communicate with the Fulfillment Data Processor 68 (or the Fulfillment Reconciliation Module 56) to exchange information related to the inventory of certain rewards. TheFulfillment Data Processor 68 keeps track of reward inventory. For instance, if the supply is very low, then theFulfillment Data Processor 68 may notify the appropriate party at the Bank (such as the Bank Interface 76) of the delinquent supply so that remedial measures can be taken, such as discontinuing the reward or acquiring more. TheFulfillment Data Processor 68 can then notify theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 of the delinquent supply. TheReport Module 70 may also query theFulfillment Data Processor 68 regarding inventory and report such records to the Bank. If there is insufficient rewards available to fulfill a reward request, then theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 can amend the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24 to reflect that the reward has not been processed. Alternate steps can be taken; e.g., thecustomer 74 can be notified via 64, 22, 24, or 26, and the customer can choose to switch to another reward. - Other information can be communicated between the
Fulfillment Data Processor 68 and theReport Module 70. The Report Module can output aFulfillment Reconciliation Report 72 that contains fulfillment information such as information relating to inventory or summary information about rewards processed and fulfilled during a specific time. TheReport 72 may be sent to any appropriate party at the Bank or to aPartner 80 orthird party 78. - Redemption can be automatic or on-demand. Automatic redemption occurs when a reward is provided to the cardmember automatically. For instance, if a reward program offered a 1% account credit for all purchases at a specific retailer for one week, then 1% of the amount spent at that retailer during that might be automatically credited to the cardmember's account. This may occur when the
Offer Qualification Module 52 passes the earnings information to the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24. TheProcessor 24 may automatically credit the account (which is stored in the Account Data Processor 22) as each qualifying purchase is made, or it may provide the credit at another time, such as at the end of the month, according to the provisions of the reward program. Alternately, a third party, such as the merchant, may automatically provide the reward. For instance, the merchant may send a check in the mail to cardmembers in the amount of 1% of the qualifying purchases. - On-demand redemption occurs when cardmember action is required for the cardmember to redeem the reward. For instance, a gift reward may be provided to cardmembers who purchase a particular product with a qualifying credit card, but the provisions of the reward program may require that the cardmember mail the receipt and UPC code for the product to a specific address in order to claim the reward. The gift reward may then be mailed to the cardmember after the receipt and UPC code are received at the address.
- However, the financial transaction information received at the Interrogate Reward
Account Transactions Module 50 and processed at theOffer Qualification Module 52 may include enough information for the Offer Qualification Module 52 (or appropriate Fulfillment Module, e.g., Merchandise Gateway 38) to determine that a gift reward should be mailed. Alternately, the customer may qualify immediately, and therefore the reward determination may bypass theOffer Qualification Module 52. For instance, aPartner 80 may determine that a particular customer or population automatically qualifies for a particular reward. They may pass the reward and population information from theExternal Processor Module Offer Qualification Module 52 to theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 for fulfillment of the approved award. - It should be appreciated that different rewards programs will have different methods of redemption and fulfillment. Some rewards can be fulfilled by the Bank, others by third parties and/or Partners of the Bank. Some reward programs may provide for on-demand fulfillment, and some may provide for automatic fulfillment.
- The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may “burn points,” i.e., hold auctions to reduce accumulated points that the rewards-giver previously purchased, was obligated to purchase, or otherwise obtained, or to otherwise reduce the amount of accumulated rewards held or owned by a reward-giver. For instance, the occurrence of a specified trigger behavior or event may trigger automatic currency redemption. For example, a coupon or check may be redeemed when a specified number of points accumulate, or upon an anniversary date, regular cycle processing, specific calendar date, or at another specified time. The redemption method may be also changed from automatic to on-demand. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may employ an underlying universal currency or (currency translation capability) to facilitate redemption across any reward program by any customer. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may define sets of one or more items for which currency can be redeemed (or exchanged for value). TheOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may also add and delete items from any of these redemption sets. Redemption sets may comprise merchandise collections, sets of cash equivalents (checks and gift certificates), Partner airline miles, pre-defined travel packages, Partner merchant coupons, or other types of rewards. TheOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may further give any customer or group of customers access to redeem currency for items in one or more redemption sets. TheOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may change customer access to different redemption sets over time to support new offers. For example, theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may allow a customer to redeem currency (or another reward) for Partner airline miles, items in a merchandise collection, checks and gift certificates, Partner coupons, or other rewards. TheOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may offer Partner points/miles as a redemption option in other reward programs. TheOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may also enable any customer to redeem currency for any good or service, as specified and limited by the rules defined by the Bank. These rules may be created by the Offer Database GUI (76) and stored in the Create Bank Offer Module or Offer Database Module. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may limit access for a customer or a group of customers to a single redemption set or collection through definable rules. For example, theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may offer customers a preferred Partner airline credit card that earns only Partner airlines miles (as in the prior art), with no access to or awareness of any other redemption options. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may specify the redemption method (automatic or on-demand) for a customer or a group of customers, to change the redemption method through subsequent offers, and to allow or limit this capability with business rules. For example, theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may set up customer to automatically redeem earnings for a competitor airline's miles or change the rewards program to allow customer to decide whether to redeem for the competitor airline's miles or redeem for items in a merchandise collection (with currency translation or exchange rate). TheOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may automatically redeem for a Partner bookstore coupon or let the customer choose to redeem accumulated currency for a Partner bookstore coupon or for miles that will be transferred to a Partner airline account. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may offer a customer access to a specific redemption set for a specific period of time. For example, theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may give customers (who normally only have access to travel redemption options) access to merchandise options to support an offer to burn points (point burner offer). A point burner offer may comprise an offer, for a limited time, to redeem earnings for a golf club for 20,000 points instead of the usual 30,000 points. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may maintain multiple collections of redemption items in flexible catalogs and make such redemptions available across multiple channels. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may access rewards currency information at a merchant point-of-sale device in order to pay for the purchase. For example, a cardholder may access and use rewards at a suitable credit card terminal to pay for a merchant's product. For example, theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may have real-time access to rewards currency balance through a payment network. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may transfer value from the rewards account to a Stored-Value account in real-time, on-demand. For example, theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may allow a customer to redeem rewards currency and have it immediately transferred to a stored value account. In this way, the customer can use the stored value at a merchant in a very short time. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may function as a “Rewards Concierge” that obtains un-offered rewards on demand (or automatically) for a customer in exchange for rewards currency. A rewards concierge allows a customer to identify a product not currently listed as a redemption item and then calculate the item's cost in terms of rewards currency. The Rewards Module may then source and fulfill the item for the customer. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may allow specific customers to supplement their accumulated currency with cash when redeeming for specified items. One example used by Philips Electronics is a “cash plus” system, wherein customers may purchase products from a retailer using a reward, such as points, but if the reward is insufficient to cover the purchase, the customer may pay the remaining balance in cash at the point of sale. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may comprise all current redemption capabilities. Redemption capabilities may comprise merchandise, Partner currency, checks payable to the cardholder on a statement or letter to the cardholder, a coupon on a statement letter to the cardholder, or another valuable good. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may apply reward currency to pay a monthly minimum account payment. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may use accumulated currency to purchase or obtain a discount on specific types of future purchases. For example, theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may allow a customer to accumulate gas-dollar-points at a gas station merchant such as BP. TheOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may provide direct cash back to a customer's Bank asset account. TheOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may donate currency to charity, either in the form of rewards currency or as a cash donation. TheOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may redeem for an investment or long term savings product, or any other financial product. TheOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may apply reward currency as a credit to a customer's account statement. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may redeem currency to pay a variety of different fees and costs and to grant this capability by item, program, customer, or customer group. TheOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may automatically waive a fee for accounts that show specific behaviors such as spending, revolving, or a specific tenure of being a cardholder. For example, theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may remove or pay a customer's account fee or annual rewards fee, or it may pay for (or credit the cost of) rush shipping. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may convert rewards points at some specified rate and send the points to a non-Partner airline or other Partner program. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may redeem currency to reduce the annual percentage rate of an account, such as a credit card account, for a certain period of time. There may be limits on the reduction in rate and the time period. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may be used to move rewards points to or from a stored value account. TheModule 54 may request fulfillment from theNon-Monetary Gateway 34, which is configured to process the fulfillment of non-monetary rewards such as points, miles, or stored value. TheNon-Monetary Gateway 34 may then pass the fulfillment information to an ExternalTransaction Data Processor 62, which may create or credit a customer stored value account with a Partner or third party. TheMonetary Gateway 32 may also be used to fulfill stored value rewards for accounts stored in theAccount Data Processor 22 when theModule 54 sends it an appropriate request. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may redeem the rewards for a US Savings Bond or other financial instrument. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 provides for the processing of various capabilities and functions related to the fulfillment of customer rewards. The method of fulfillment varies by reward program and redemption type. Fulfillment can be through the bank, a Partner of the bank, or a vendor. If the rewards earnings are sent to a Partner or vendor, then the bank (or cardmember) may need to contact the Partner or vendor to request the Partner or vendor to deliver the award to the cardmember. In a simpler example, the reward may be automatically delivered to the cardmember, such as when a coupon or check reward is enclosed with, printed on, or attached to the cardmember's monthly statement. - The rewards earnings/points can be sent to third parties for redemption and fulfillment. For instance, a cardmember may earn frequent flyer miles with a Partner airline by engaging in specific behaviors, such as renting cars from a Partner car rental company. At a specified time, such as monthly or after a cardmember earns a threshold number of points, the points could be sent to the Partner airline. If the cardmember has an account with the Partner airline, those points could be stored in that account. The cardmember's frequent flyer miles could then be redeemed through the Partner airline directly or through the Partner airline's affiliates, such as when the cardmember applies the miles earnings toward free or discounted air travel or car rentals, respectively.
- The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may generate electronic coupons. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may specify the fulfillment channel or vendor for each redemption item, and it may supply the information required for fulfillment. TheOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may quickly change the specified fulfillment channel or vendor for any item and reroute fulfillment requests for changed items to the appropriate channel or vendor. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may track and generate a Partner numbering scheme on reward coupons, and it may calculate and generate expiration dates on coupons and certificates via statement or letter. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may allow the customer to elect to obtain an earned reward (such as a check) via email, on a statement, or transfer to a demand deposit account. - The
Offer Fulfillment Module 54 may also wire transfer funds to Financial Partners. This may occur when the PRE runs another bank or other company's rewards program when the other bank or other company would prefer their customer's reward to be received from the other bank or company rather than the Bank operating the PRE. - The
Report Module 70 may provide for various capabilities and functions relating to analysis and targeting. - The
Report Module 70 may output various reports based on data received from other elements of the PRE. For instance, theReport Module 70 may generate a New Offer Created Report when a new offer is created. This report may also be generated by the CreateBank Offer Module 40 and the CreatePartner Offer Module 42, which may then pass the report to theBank Interface 76. TheReport Module 70 may generate a New Locked Offer Report when a new offer is locked. A new offer is locked when the population is closed, and no further customers will become eligible to enroll in the program (unless another rule enables them to enroll). TheReport Module 70 may generate a Population Reject Detail Report when a population is rejected, which may occur when a customer account or population set is rejected for one or more offers. TheReport Module 70 may generate a Population Missing Report when it is determined that a population was missing. Some or all of these reports may also be created by theCommunication Module 64 and passed to theBank Interface 76. - The
Report Module 70 may target offers to the customers most likely to redeem a reward for higher-cost items. For example, if the previous behavior on a customer or similar customers indicate a likelihood to redeem an airline ticket award, theReport Module 70 may send the customer a point-burner offer to reduce the Bank's exposure to accumulating too many rewards obligations. The Report Module may send such information to the FulfillmentReconciliation Report Module 72, which may send the information to theBank Interface 76. It may alternately send the information straight to theBank Interface 76. The information could then pass through the PRE to thecustomer 74. - The
Report Module 70 may analyze customer spending or merchant patterns. Based on such analysis, theReport Module 70 may recommend that a customer receive an automatic offer or eligibility for new features with immediate visibility across multiple channels, for instance, any of the communication channels discussed above. The Report Module may send such information to the FulfillmentReconciliation Report Module 72, which may send the information to theBank Interface 76. It may alternately send the information straight to theBank Interface 76. The information could then pass through the PRE to thecustomer 74. - The Report Module 70 (and/or the
Bank Interface 76, using data from the Report Module 70) may provide modeling analysis. For instance, theReport Module 70 may recommend that some rewards should be offered only to rewards seekers with the potential to be profitable. - The
Report Module 70 may supply detailed activity information for a Bank's marketing target analysis. TheReport Module 70 may provide information about rewards activity, accumulation bank status, and other rewards-related information to Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Campaign Management (i.e., managing marketing campaigns to). Campaign Management may comprise managing product or marketing campaigns to attract more customers or otherwise improve business and profits for one or more products or programs. For instance, a marketing department, by way of theBank Interface 76, may collect internal data about the PRE. It may collect this data from the various Modules directly (as shown inFIG. 3A ), or it may collect some or all of the information from the Report Module 70 (optionally via a Fulfillment Reconciliation Report 72). TheBank Interface 76 may then aggregate or otherwise process the information for marketing or other internal purposes. For instance, theBank Interface 76 may aggregate usage data for accounts in various rewards programs to determine the effectiveness of one program compared with another. Based on the marketing data, the Bank Interface may output rules to the PRE to create more rewards program offers, such as offers that have features similar to the most successful rewards programs. - The
Report Module 70 may send information to theBank Interface 76 automatically when certain criteria are met. For example, theReport Module 70 may send a message whenever a specific customer is within a certain percentage of a redemption threshold. Such information may be used for a variety of purposes, such as to monitor and change reward inventory as necessary, or to determine the next set of rewards programs based on the availability of rewards for current programs. - Analysis of customer redemption patterns may result in automatic eligibility for new feature offers. These new offers may be immediately accessible to the
customer 74 via any of a variety of channels as discussed above. Information about customer redemptions may be received by theFulfillment Reconciliation Module 56 and passed to theReport Module 70 via theFulfillment Data Processor 68. TheReport Module 70 may then pass the data to the Bank Interface 76 (via the Fulfillment Reconciliation Report 72). The offers may be communicated to the customer via theCommunication Module 64 orAccount Data Processor 22. For example, a Web advisor or Card Member Services (CMS) advisor may change its web page or the rewards programs offered (or otherwise change communications) when a customer pattern is detected. The Web advisor and Card Member Services advisor may be accessible via theCommunication Module 64 or other modules that interface with thecustomer 74. - The
Report Module 70 may calculate costs of rewards currency earnings (e.g., points) at the account level based on a calculated or estimated cost per currency point. TheReport Module 70 may first determine how the cost basis determined. TheReport Module 70 may support the ability to manage accrual at an account level, a portfolio population or sub-population, or an entire rewards program. - The
Report Module 70 may reconcile and settle reward currency disputes or settlements among vendors, Partners, processors and the Bank (or multiple banks) based on business rules. TheReport Module 70 may provide up-to-date reconciliation at a frequency defined by Bank. Such account reconciliation may include both accumulation and balance information. - The
Report Module 70 may track a customer's (or class of customer's) history of earnings by the qualifying trigger types and attributes and by specific product and account. TheReport Module 70 may differentiate points earned on credit card transactions as compared with demand deposit account activity. TheReport Module 70 may track earnings separately for Partner purchases, activity bonus (first use or open account), non-Partner purchases, and other criteria. Such information can be used to determine how the costs of specific rewards programs or other PRE features. The information tracked by the Report Module is passed to theBank Interface 76 and processed as described above. TheBank Interface 76 processes the information to determine appropriate changes in the system in the interest of profitability or long-term Bank growth, or other business interests, and then creates new rules or changes old rules and propagates those rules through the system as described above. - Through the
Report Module 70, the PRE may produce audits, controls, and file reconciliations in order to allow for monitoring the efficiency and accuracy of the PRE, as described below. - The
Report Module 70 is configured to send specific auditing reports to the Bank Interface 76 (e.g., via the Fulfillment Reconciliation Report Module 72), based on information received from the various Modules (as shown inFIG. 3A ). Information may be provided to the Report Module on a daily or other timely basis. - From the Create
Bank Offer Module 40 and CreatePartner Offer Module 42, theReport Module 70 receives information regarding: offers started, offer alerts, offers locked, and offers modified. Such information may detail such offer information by the frequency of each offer campaign identifier, the campaign name, the offer identifier, the offer subtype, and/or other criteria. - From the Interrogate Reward
Account Behaviors Module 48, theReport Module 70 may receive cancellation and rejection reports for single and multiple accounts and offers, including those for existing populations. The reports may detail the frequency of a particular offer, the reasons for a particular rejection, the offer name, and the customer account numbers. - From the Interrogate Reward
Account Transactions Module 50, theReport Module 70 may receive a tracking report detailing the frequency of an offer and the account number of the accounts that did or did not have data applied to them during a certain time period. The frequency and other data may be received by the Interrogate RewardAccount Transactions Module 50 from any of theAccount Data Processor 22, the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24, and theTransaction Data Processor 26. The same data may be received by theReport Module 70 from those modules via theCommunication Module 64, or another indirect route of information through the system, such as via the Interrogate RewardAccount Transactions Module 50. - From the
Offer Qualification Module 52, theReport Module 70 may receive a tracking report detailing the frequency of an offer and the account number of accounts that went through the qualification process and either qualified or did not qualify for the offer. - From the Fulfillment Reconciliation Module, the
Report Module 70 may receive a status report detailing the frequency of a number of qualifying accounts by offer and internal or external status. TheModule 70 may also receive information regarding the daily minimum, maximum, mean, and/or sum of the amount spent by the qualifying accounts.Report Module 70 may also receive information regarding the rewards fulfilled successfully. This information may describe the frequency of customers qualifying. This may be detailed by offer, by account number, by the recipient of the fulfillment file (e.g., 32, 34, 36, 38, 78, or 80). TheReport Module 70 may also receive information regarding the reward fulfillments that were rejected, and this information may be detailed by reasons for rejection (such as the reason code). This information may describe the frequency by active or live offer; by date; by account number; by the recipient of the fulfillment file; by the reason code (e.g., from a reject report) which may comprise the number of purged or product traded accounts; by rewards offer; and by account number when the reason for rejection is that the reward was product traded, closed, lost or stolen. - The
Report Module 70 may receive similar associated information from the other Modules. The Report Module 70 (e.g., via the Fulfillment Reconciliation Report Module 72) and theCommunication Module 64 may output memo reports, phase reports, live offer cancellation reports, and offline earn reports, success, and failures. Such information may describe the frequency by offer identifier, by the memo posted to accounts, by phase, by subtype, by account number, by the number of accounts that arrived through a Partner file, the accounts that are live or active, notification sent, and cancelled offers by reason code. - Such auditing processes may allow for internal and external audits upon demand. For instance, an external source such as a
Partner 80 orthird party 78 may request an audit by via theBank Interface 76. TheBank Interface 76 may then create and provide rules requesting the various Modules to output audit reports. Any of the Modules may be configured to perform such self-audits. Self audits may comprise checking to confirm that information was received by the Module and that the information comprises appropriate content and appropriate formatting. For example, the Create Rewards Account Population Module may output a report to confirm that a file was received, that the file has appropriate information content, and that the file has the appropriate header and/or trailer information. - The PRE is designed to operate in a test or simulation mode. In such a mode, there may be no actual customers or real transactions, but rather simulated customers, accounts, transactions, and rewards. The PRE could operate as it would for a real promotional rewards program, except that the necessary external inputs and communications with the PRE system would be fabricated by the
Bank Interface 76 or another test entity. TheBank Interface 76 could monitor the performance of the various modules through direct monitoring, as shown onFIG. 3A , and/or via theReport Module 70. TheBank Interface 76 could analyze the offers, rewards, earnings, fulfillment, and other functions to ensure that the PRE is working and producing proper results. For instance, in the test mode, theBank Interface 76 would ensure that simulation customers in a fake miles rewards program accumulate and earn miles, rather than another reward like cash rebates. - An advantage of the PRE is that it may de-couple reward participation from plastic fulfillment. In other words, the physical plastic card (e.g., a credit card) may no longer be necessary to obtain awards. As described above, the rewards may be accrued and fulfilled without regard to the physical plastic. For instance, the customer can request rewards online. In addition, a cardmember may switch redemption or default accumulation options without the need for a re-issue of a plastic card; again, such selections can be made online or via other communication channels that do not involve a physical card.
- Referring to
FIGS. 3A and 3B , the RewardsAccount Data Processor 24, the Interrogate RewardAccount Transactions Module 50, and the ExternalTransaction Data Processor 62 may communicate with each other to reconcile rewards provided throughPartners 80 and third parties 78 (via the External Transaction Data Processor). A reward accumulated at theProcessor 24 may be passed through theModule 50 to theModule 62, where the reward is passed to athird party 78 orPartner 80 for fulfillment. Theoutside party Processor 24 through theModules Processor 24. TheProcessor 24 andModules Partners 80 and third party vendors 78. Appropriate reporting may be passed to theReporting Module 70. - The
Report Module 70,Fulfillment Data Processor 68, andOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may communicate through each other to provide reasonableness checks, audits, and reporting for accumulation and redemption. For instance, when the Fulfillment Data Processor receives information about missing reward inventory or a list of rewards rejected, it may pass it to theReport Module 70. - The
Bank Interface 76 may run rewards and loyalty programs forPartners 80 and non-Bank businesses. This may require the capability for multiple input/outputs with thosePartners 80 and non-Bank businesses. For instance, it may require thatPartners 80 andthird parties 78 output all customer transaction information to the Bank, e.g., to theBank Interface 76, ExternalBehavior Data Processor 60, and the ExternalTransaction Data Processor 62. It may also require thePartners 80 andthird parties 78 to provide activity tracking and invoicing information to the PRE. - The PRE allows a Bank, or a department of a Bank such as a marketing department, to offer multiple additional rewards earning opportunities to credit cardmembers. The processing is controlled by a rules-based engine, in which the Bank or its various business lines can specify the cardmember eligibility and earnings rules. Cardmembers are targeted for specific promotional rewards offers and enrolled in one or more promotional rewards programs. Rewards are then earned based on explicit cardmember behaviors and transaction qualifications. Eligible cardmembers are awarded promotional rewards only when the specific behaviors and/or transactions qualify for rewards under the earnings rules.
- Rewards earnings (or rewards) may be any of the following: a physical reward, such as a plush toy or monetary certificates; a monetary reward, such as a credit to a cardmember's account; a non-monetary reward, such as points or miles, which can be applied to a rewards account or to a stored-value card; a federal reserve savings bond; donations to a charity such as an educational institution; or another product or service that may be of value to a bank customer. Rewards earnings may even be “earned” by purchasing them outright.
- Rewards earnings are accrued when specific transactions or behaviors occur during a reward program's earning period. The specific transactions or behaviors which trigger rewards (“triggering behaviors”) may comprise: credit and debit card transactions, such as debit transactions, opening an account, paying a balance, paying interest, and linking with another account; other transactions associated with the Bank offering the reward, such as making a deposit, making a withdrawal, paying interest, drafting a check, paying a fee for a banking service; loan transactions, such as paying interest, transferring a balance, issuing a convenience check, and accessing a line of credit; a merchant purchase; checking and savings account activity; account payment transactions, such as setting up a recurring payment, enabling an auto-payment, paying an annual fee, or paying a rewards fee; transactions with Bank Partners; transactions with third parties; brokerage transactions, such as purchasing or selling securities, depositing funds, and transferring holdings from an external account to a Bank account; and other transactions or behaviors. Some other triggering behaviors may comprise purchases, transferring a balance, opening a checking account, opening a credit or debit account, applying for a loan or other credit account, paying a balance on time, and maintaining at least a specified minimum balance. Triggering behaviors may also comprise: accumulating a specific amount of charges; charging a specific amount; charging a certain number of transactions; transacting at a specific location; using an account card for identification purposes; or otherwise using an account card for purposes other than financial transactions. Yet other triggering behaviors/transactions may comprise: obtaining a cash advance and using a convenience check. It should be noted that some behaviors do not necessarily require any action on the part of the cardholder. For instance, in some circumstances maintaining a minimum account balance might be satisfied by merely refraining from withdrawing funds from the account.
- Other behaviors and transactions that may impact rewards may comprise: having a specific account balance; having above or below a specific average daily balance; revolving an account balance versus paying in full; having an inactive account; maintaining a type of account balance. Behavior and transaction data is stored at the External
Behavior Data Processor 60, the ExternalTransaction Data Processor 62, theTransaction Data Processor 26, and the Account Data Processor (which stores behavior data related to accounts). - A rewards earning period, i.e., the time period during which a reward may be earned, may be any definable time period, such as: all weekends in March, 2004; Nov. 28, 2005; the entire year of 2005; May 16, 2004 through Jun. 5, 2004; the holidays in November, 2004; March, 2004, and June, 2004; Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of the first quarter of 2003; the hours of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm E.S.T. from Jan. 7 to Feb. 10, 2004; and a period of one month beginning when a cardmember makes a first purchase on a credit card.
- The
Bank Interface 76 rules may enable any credit card transactions (e.g., purchases, balance transfers, convenience checks, adjustments, and customer service disputes) to qualify as rewards earning transactions for any rewards offer. These credit card transactions can be interrogated from the credit card processor or from a file provided by an outside entity. - The
Bank Interface 76 rules may classify the credit card transactions by transaction type, e.g., purchase, balance transfer, convenience check, or adjustment. Any combination of transaction types can be chosen as qualifying agents for a reward offer, as defined in theBank Interface 76 rules. For instance, the Bank Module may specify that all balance transfers and convenience checks may qualify for an offer. The Interrogate RewardAccount Transactions Module 50 is configured to determine the transaction type of the transactions it processes from theTransaction Data Processor 26 and the ExternalTransaction Data Processor 62. - The PRE may be configured to match credit card debits (e.g., purchases) and credits (e.g., refunds). For instance, any credit card debit transaction that is subsequently reversed by a matching credit card credit transaction (e.g. return, adjustment, etc.) may have its initial related rewards earnings reversed (i.e. nullified). Also, even if that reverse transaction happened after the credit card account had issued a statement to the customer or the initial reward has been redeemed; thus, it may be possible to have a negative rewards balance. For instance, when the Interrogate Reward
Account Transactions Module 50 processes refund or other credit transaction data from theTransaction Data Processor 26, it may automatically reverse any reward earned by a prior corresponding debit transaction. Alternately, such transaction and reward-earning data may be checked by theOffer Qualification Module 52 prior to authorizing the fulfillment of a reward. - The PRE may be configured to identify a Bank's credit card accounts that are active and in good standing. This information may be posted by the Bank (e.g., through the Bank Interface 76) to the External
Suppression Data Processor 28, where it can be interrogated by theOffer Qualification Module 52 prior to authorizing the fulfillment of a reward. For instance, theOffer Qualification Module 52 may only qualify credit card accounts that are active and in good standing (i.e. not delinquent) for a reward at any given time. If an account is not in good standing, then when prompted, the ExternalSuppression Data Processor 28 will notify theOffer Qualification Module 52 of the status of the account, and theOffer Qualification Module 52 may not process the reward for fulfillment. Each offer may have different rules. The rules may also incorporate the cardmember's status for other bank products. For instance, by opening a checking account a customer may earn 5000 miles on the customer's credit card account. - The PRE comprises one or more processors that can calculate mathematical formulas, e.g., the
Offer Qualification Module 52. Monetary and non-monetary rewards earnings may be determined by a mathematical formula containing a transaction amount, or the earnings could be a fixed rewards earning amount. Non-monetary rewards earnings may be mathematically determined in a variety of ways as prescribed by the rules provided by theBank Interface 76. For instance, a reward program may offer rewards points equal to the accumulated transaction amount times 2.00 (i.e., double points). TheBank Interface 76 may provide a reward program wherein customers earn different rewards based on different spending thresholds, for instance, an offer specifying that if the transaction amount is less than $1001 then the rewards points equal the transaction amount times 2.00, otherwise the rewards points equal 3.00 times the transaction amount (i.e., earning threshold). Similarly, theBank Interface 76 may provide three tiers of earnings rates, wherein transaction amounts greater than $1000 earn points equal to the sum of the portion of the transaction amount less than $1000 times 2.00, plus the portion of the transaction amount greater than $1000 times 3.00. The Bank Interface may also provide a reward program wherein reward miles equals the transaction amount plus 2000. TheOffer Qualification Module 52 may also be configured to allow for phased offers and phased rewards, where a customer earns a consistent or increasing level of a reward for performing a desired behavior (or transaction) over a longer period of time. For instance, according to one phased offer, a customer may earn 1000 points for spending $500 in June, 2000 points for spending $500 in July, and 3000 points for spending $500 in August, where the July points can be earned only if the June threshold was satisfied, where each successive phase of earnings can only be accrued if the prior phase is completed successfully (i.e., additional points in August can be earned only if the customer spent $500 in both June and July). Through another phased offer, a customer may earn 500 bonus miles each month for the next five months as long as the customer spends $500 per month (or makes a certain number of purchases). - The PRE applies rewards earnings to the cardmember's rewards account. rewards earnings will be applied to the cardmember's rewards account after the specific rewards offer earning period has ended on the specific rewards offer award date, or the reward may be awarded at other specified reward offer earning distribution dates.
- The PRE may identify credit card transactions at the account level. Only Credit card transactions made by a specific cardmember account at a Bank can be used to qualify that cardmember account for Reward earnings given to that cardmember account. I.e., a cardmember's credit card transactions-related rewards earnings cannot be applied to a different account held by the cardmember. The processor can determine rules.
- The PRE may qualify a single credit card transaction. A single credit card transaction (or multiple transactions) can be qualified for a rewards offer based on a combination of factors according to the rules defining the reward offer, such as: whether the source of the transaction (e.g. Bank Identification Number (BIN), cardholder acceptor ID (CAID) and/or Standard Industry Code (SIC)) was in the specific rewards offer source requirement (e.g., the PRE may qualify a tax payment for a reward if the payment is made using a specific credit card). For instance, a reward program may provide a reward to a customer for paying the customer's property taxes using a Bank credit card. The credit card transaction for the tax payment would have identifier information indicating that it was a tax payment. Such transaction information would be collected by the
Transaction Data Module 27 and passed to theTransaction Data Processor 26. TheOffer Qualification Module 52 may then determine that the customer earned a reward when it processes the customer transaction information and determines that a customer reward program in which the customer is enrolled provides reward earnings for tax payments. Other factors include: whether the credit card account number is eligible to participate in the reward offer (e.g., whether the account number satisfied the specific rewards offer account portfolio requirement, e.g., entire portfolio, Partner, co-brand targeted accounts); whether the transaction was made within the specific rewards offer earning time period; whether the amount of the transaction (or accumulated amount for multiple transactions) was greater or equal to the specific rewards offer trigger amount (minimum $0.01, in increments of $0.01); and whether the debit transaction type was in the specific rewards offer set of debit transaction types. The PRE may also qualify a single credit card transaction based on the merchant or the transaction records pertaining to the description of the merchant. - The PRE may qualify a customer on multi-period rewards earnings periods. Multi period rewards earnings periods can be used in a rewards offer to determine cardmember eligibility for subsequent earnings periods. For instance, a cardmember might only qualify for the current rewards earning period if they have already qualified in the previous rewards earning period, e.g., in a phased offer. However, a rule may specify that cardmembers always qualify for the first rewards earning period or tier. This functionality may be accomplished through
Modules 44 & 46 which create the populations for a particular offer (or offer subset, such as a second phase of an offer). Alternately, this functionality may be accomplished whenModules - The PRE may identify accounts that have been purged or that have a card that has been lost or stolen. For instance, such information may be posted directly to the Bank via the
Communication Module 64, theBank Interface 76, or theAccount Data Processor 22, e.g., if the customer reports a lost or stolen card. Such information may thus be directly or indirectly provided to theAccount Data Processor 22 to reflect the new account data. If a credit card account is lost or stolen, then theAccount Data Processor 22 may transfer any of its rewards offers and associated rewards balances to the replacement credit card account as soon as the new account is available. If a credit card account is purged, then any of its rewards offers and associated rewards balances may be removed based on rules governing retention of records and reinstatement of closed accounts. If the account is purged from the base rewards system, the account must be purged from the PRE (and the Account Data Processor 22), except possibly for purposes of record-keeping. - The PRE may “product switch” accounts. A product switched account may comprise an account with an associated rewards program that is converted or otherwise switched into another account or account portfolio that has a different associated rewards program. To accomplish this, the
Bank Interface 76 may create rules that pass through the system in order to edit the appropriate rewards accounts (and/or customer accounts) that are being product switched. For example, theBank Interface 76 may send rules to the CreateBank offer Module 40 or CreatePartner Offer Module 42, which may then create the new offer or switch it with the old one. Alternately, theBank Interface 76 may directly modify theAccount Data Processor 22 and RewardsAccount Data Processor 24 to convert the old account to the new one. Other Modules and/or Processors may be modified or provided rules as needed. - Product switching may occur when a Partner account portfolio (i.e., collection of accounts and rewards programs) is eliminated or switched into a portfolio of a different Partner. For example, a VISA portfolio (i.e., collection of accounts and rewards programs) may include a VISA-sponsored credit card account with frequent flyer rewards. The VISA portfolio may be eliminated when the Bank switches all of its accounts to MasterCard. In this event, the VISA-sponsored credit card may be converted into a MasterCard-sponsored account with a 1% rebate on all purchases. If a credit card account is product switched into another portfolio or account, then all of its rewards offers and associated rewards balances that existed in the portfolio or account before it is switched must be transferred or converted to the new credit card account or portfolio. In another example, if a Partner airline credit card account is product switched into a Partner hotel credit card account, then the account does not continue to earn airline-related rewards; rather, it will earn hotel-related rewards.
- Rewards earnings balances for a specific rewards offer may be capped at a maximum value, according to the rules governing the program as defined by the
Bank Interface 76. - Memorandums, notes, or other information may be posted to the cardmember account information stored in the
Account Data Processor 22. All cardmember accounts that are eligible for a specific rewards offer, qualified for a specific rewards offer, or have been fulfilled for a specific rewards offer may have a related memo placed on their cardmember account. For instance, theCommunication Module 64,Bank Interface 76, Create RewardsAccount Population Module 44, or other elements in communication with theAccount Data Processor 22 may post such information to the account. The Bank may service these memos, e.g., through theBank Interface Module 76. - Each of the Modules and Processors can be modified, e.g., by the
Bank Interface 76, during a reward program. For instance, theOffer Fulfillment Module 54 may be given instructions not to send fulfillments for a set of specific rewards, or for a set of rewards that satisfy specific criteria. - Other embodiments and uses of this invention will be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. The specification and examples given should be considered exemplary only, and it is contemplated that the appended claims will cover any other such embodiments or modifications as fall within the true scope of the invention.
