Abstract: In one aspect of the present disclosure, a device includes one or more memories having computer-readable instructions stored therein and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to receive, over a period of time, information regarding transactions conducted in association with a user account; identify a category associated with one or more of the transactions based on the information, wherein identifying yields a number of categories; generate a ranking of the categories based on a transaction parameter; assign a different number of points to corresponding transactions in one or more of the categories based on the ranking, with a highest number of points assigned to the corresponding transactions in at least one category with highest ranking; and apply the corresponding number of points to the user account.
