Abstract: Disclosed is a card-less reward system providing buyers with promotional offers and engendering buyers to be rewarded by submitting receipts obtained from sellers. A method for rewarding the buyers comprises providing to a buyer a list of promotional offers for a product or service of at least one seller, allowing the buyer to accept electronically at least one promotional offer, and allowing the buyer to submit a digital image of at least one receipt obtained from the seller, which offered the accepted promotional offer. The method further comprises processing received image to retrieve purchase data, and rewarding the buyer in response to the retrieved purchase data.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing a card-less reward program that awards rewards based on purchase data determined from digital representations of sales receipts, and facilitating analytics related to the reward program, feedback from customers, and detection of fraudulent reward redemptions. A reward server may receive a digital representation of a sales receipt, determine purchase data based on the digital representation, and determine one or more rewards to be awarded based on the determined purchase data. The reward server may generate a code in association with the one or more rewards that can be used for auditing purposes to determine whether a reward was fraudulently obtained. The reward server may provide analytics and customer surveys to determine the effectiveness of reward programs and/or other merchant efforts to build and enhance customer loyalty.
