A data processing system for facilitating merchant transactions includes a computer for processing data, and a storage device for storing data processed by the computer. Data regarding the purchase by a purchaser of merchandise form a merchant for a specified amount of money is entered into the computer. Monetary points are then calculated which are proportionate to a purchase made. The monetary points are then allocated between the first account which may be used by a first person for the purchase of additional merchandise from the merchant, and a second account which may be used by a second person for one of an education at an educational institution or for medical expenses incurred from a medical service provider. The monetary points allocated to the first account and the second are recorded in the storage device. |
