Abstract: An Internet-based incentive/rewards platform designed to serve the needs of the indirect channel is provided to independent business partners by industry manufacturers. Through the platform, participating channel partners can review details, e.g., the terms and conditions, of prospective promotions/contests or reward programs offered by manufacturers and can accept or decline the offers to participate in the manufacturer-provided programs. Once the channel partner accepts the manufacturer-provided promotion/contest or reward program, the partner may modify or append certain elements of the program to better fit the partner's business processes and compensation plans. The platform provides administrative tools to track and report participant progress through a claims submittal process where internal partner personnel earn rewards. Rewards can be redeemed for items in an integrated rewards catalog.

Abstract: A financial transaction system. The present invention includes a method for performing a financial transaction, wherein a cardholder makes a purchase from a merchant using credit established at a financial institution. The method begins when the merchant transmits a merchant offer including merchant information about the purchase to the cardholder. The cardholder transmits the merchant information along with cardholder information to the financial institution. The financial institution then transmits payment for the purchase to a merchant account and sends a payment notification to the merchant indicating that payment for the purchase has been made and that the merchant offer has been accepted.
