  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PURCHASES BASED ON ACCUMULATION OF PURCHASES DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN LOCAL AND TOURISTS TRANSACTIONS
    Publication number: 20170372281
    Abstract: Using payment processing data on which cards transact at a merchant, a payment transaction service provider may determine whether cards used at a given merchant are being used within the card's domicile or outside the domicile. When a card is used in domicile, that's a “local” user. This allows the payment transaction service provider to inform on whether a merchant is visited primarily by tourists or primarily by locals. The payment transaction service provider may also derive whether someone is a ‘tourist’ card based on any recent hotel, car rental, or flight purchases in the same location as their purchase at a merchant.
