  • Patent number: 11301892
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for performing a pay with points rewards transaction are described herein. A customer of a financial institution having a rewards account associated with a payment account can provide parameters for future transactions that are to be paid with points instead of charged to the payment account. To designate the future transaction as a rewards transaction, the customer sets rewards transaction parameters (e.g., via a mobile banking application, via an online banking portal, via a telephone system associated with the financial institution, etc.). After setting the rewards transaction parameters, the financial institution identifies a purchase request that matches the rewards transaction parameters and processes the transaction as a rewards transaction.
