Abstract: A method for verification of travel and a purchase to prevent fraudulent redemption of a promotional offer for conditional transportation cost validation includes: using a customer's mobile computing device to transmit geolocation data to a validation network provider while present at the merchant's physical location; updating a token on the validation network provider's server using the geolocation data from the customer's mobile device, thereby confirming the customer's presence at the merchant's physical location; confirming the purchase by correlating transaction data from a linked payment method with the geolocation data from the customer's mobile device to update the token on the validation network provider's server; and automatically issuing a credit to the customer when the data points of the token fulfill the conditions of the promotional offer; wherein the promotional offer is to reimburse the customer for travel expenses the customer incurs for traveling to or from the merchant's physical location.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes associating a pre-existing dataset to one or more physical entities via association with an encoded token; monitoring interactions between the entity and the token; providing data from the dataset to the entity based on that monitoring; and updating the dataset with new or modified data from the entity by referencing the encoded token. In another embodiment, a method includes transmitting a vehicle retrieval request to a service provider including a delivery location; generating a listing event based on transmission of retrieval request; and transmitting a dataset back to retrieval requester.
