PRIVILEGE RETURN METHOD

摘要

For example, when bonus programs are performed in banking establishments and stores in one location such as a shopping mole, the programs are unified and the managements are carried out by a center. First, a customer inserts a card (or cards) into an ATM or a kiosk terminal for registration (S12), so that bonus points are tracked. When a customer performs a transaction at a banking establishment or purchase a commodity at a store, a corresponding point is added (S23). The customer can exchange points with of different kind points (S32), collect them into one kind of points (S35), or receive a privilege such as a discount coupon (S33) as a return for the points. The locations include a virtual location on a network.
