RETAIL RESIDUAL BENEFIT PROGRAM

摘要

A residual benefit program where recipients of non-consumable goods receive a good with benefits, can recycle that good for benefits, and redeem the benefits at some point in the future. The program accumulates credits for a beneficiary elected by a primary purchaser. Credits may accumulate due to purchase of a product, recycling of a product, or via interest over time. Upon redemption of the accumulated credits, the beneficiary receives the reward chosen by the primary purchaser. The reward or the redeemer who provides the reward is set by the primary purchaser for the beneficiary and may be modified over time.
