METHODS, SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR PROVIDING BENEFITS TO LOCAL COMMUNITY ENTITIES VIA PURCHASE CARD TRANSACTIONS |
| 摘要 |
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing benefits to local community entities via purchase card transactions are disclosed. In one example, the method includes receiving a message indicating that a purchase transaction has been initiated with a purchase transaction card associated with a community-based payment card reward program managed via the website management platform, using purchase transaction information contained in the message to determine if the purchase transaction was conducted in a local area specified by the community-based payment card reward program, applying a credit to a cardholder account associated with the purchase transaction card in the event the purchase transaction is initiated at a merchant site located within the local area and determining a donation amount to be provided to at least one charitable entity located within the local area in the event the purchase transaction is initiated at a merchant site located outside of the local area. |
