Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for detecting savings opportunities for consumers based on the price protection and/or return policies of retailers, following a process of purchasing items from online or physical retailers. The system receives an order statement which comprises information about an order, such as an identifier of the retailer, a date and the details of one or more purchases, where each purchase includes at least an identifier of an item and the amount paid for that item. The system then extracts that information from the order statement, without requiring the user to specify the details of each purchase separately. The system continuously monitors the prices of the items and the conditions specified in the retailer's price protection and/or return policies.

Abstract: A method and system for ordering addressees in address fields (141-143) is provided.

The ordering policy (134) may include general ordering policies such as alphabetical ordering, or flattering ordering in which the recipient's address is at the head of the address field. Weightings for individual addressees may be defined. Weightings may be absolute and/or relative to other addressees.
