  • Publication number: 20130275296
    Abstract: Address, time, and rules obligating donee donations are auto-populated for merchants whose authorization responses for transactions conducted on accounts are used to obtain account holders' travel time to the merchants'. When travel time is proximal to the auto-populated time, the rule and the transaction currency amount are used to calculate the merchant's donee donation, which donation can be messaged for auditing of donations paid and payable. A predetermined time after each such transaction, the merchant is sent a notice as to the difference between obligatory donee donations and the donee donations received. Auto-populated addresses, times, and rules are amendable by the merchant, and the donee amendable by the account holder, whereby the merchant selects the donation, and the account holder selects the donee. Answers to account holder surveys, upon receipt, increments currencies for account holder or donee with greater increment for fast answers.
