Abstract: In some examples, a graphical user interface (GUI) presented via a mobile application includes a first user interface element representative of a payment instrument of a user, and one or more second user interface elements. Each second user interface element is representative of a respective reward offer associated with a respective merchant, and the respective reward offer is selectable via interaction with the corresponding second user interface element. The second user interface elements are presented in a scrollable carousel that is presented separately from, and proximate to, the first user interface element. Based at least on receiving, via the GUI, a selection of one of the second user interface elements, a corresponding respective reward offer from a respective merchant is associated with the payment instrument of the user, and the corresponding respective reward offer is redeemable in association with a transaction involving the payment instrument and the respective merchant.

Abstract: The present technology reduces external communication, server demand, network congestion, and processing power in facilitating the transfer of stored values. The technology as disclosed herein provides for users to transmit a stored value therebetween, allowing recipients to select how they would like to receive the stored value by means of one or more digital assets or other alternate values. The technology provides for a first user to transmit a stored value to one or more recipients. Upon receiving a selection as to how the recipients would like to receive the stored value, the present technology converts from the stored value as sent by the first user to the one or more alternate values as indicated by the recipients.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes identifying an equity reward offer to be provided to a user, wherein the equity reward offer corresponds to an amount of equity associated a merchant, and redemption of the equity reward offer causes the corresponding amount of equity to be added to an equity account of the user, updating a redemption status of the equity reward offer based on activity of the specified user on the payment service and a pre-condition of the equity reward offer, such as a purchase associated with the merchant, and upon determining that the pre-condition has been satisfied, sending, to the client device associated with the specified user, instructions to display a notification message indicating that the equity reward offer can be redeemed using the payment account of the user to cause the associated amount of equity to be added to the equity account of the user.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving information about a payment from a user to a merchant using a payment account issued to the user by a payment service, the payment account being linked to one or more reward offers. Each reward offer is redeemable upon satisfaction of one or more criteria. The method also includes determining that each criterion associated with a reward offer linked to the payment account has been satisfied, redeeming the reward offer to reduce a value associated with the payment, and sending, to an application installed on a client device associated with the user, a user interface indicating that the reward offer has been redeemed in association with the payment.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, by one or more computing devices associated with a payment service, receiving, by the payment service and from a first client device associated with a sender, a request for a digital gift to be added to a payment account of a recipient, identifying, one or more recommended digital gifts for the recipient based on transaction history of the recipient on the payment service, where the one or more digital gifts are identified using a machine-learning model trained using a transaction history of one or more users of the payment service, providing, in response to receiving a selection of one of the recommended digital gifts from the first client device, and sending, by the payment service to a second client device associated with the recipient, a notification that the sender has provided the recipient with the identified digital gift.
