REBATE CARD SYSTEM

摘要

A rebate card system wherein the purchaser of a rebate-eligible product may be provided a rebate card by the retailer. The rebate eligible product may be goods and/or services. The rebate may be from one or more of a manufacturer, a service provider, or the retailer. The rebate card may be associated with an account, and the account may be associated with a rebate value. Activation of the rebate card may be governed by the purchaser having fulfilled required commitments, such as not returning the product for a specified period or by purchasing a related product or service. The value associated t o the rebate card may be fixed, or may vary based on criteria that the retailer or manufacturer may define. The rebate value may be decreased when the rebate card is used for additional purchases, and may be increased if additional rebates are earned. The initial purchase transaction information may be associated with the account, and shared with the manufacturer or service provider. Later purchase transaction information may be associated with the account, and shared with the manufacturer or service provider.
