Abstract: The system and method for issuing an online reward disclosed provides a direct way to specifically reward a user for their actions on the internet. For a campaign according to the system and method, a unique code is provided, which could, for example, be a hashtag, and a search of pre-defined internet websites is performed for the unique code. Where the unique code is found on one or more of the pre-defined internet websites, the user associated with that code is validated by checking if the user is in a list of pre-defined users and, if they are approved, a reward is issued to the user.
