Abstract: A display system may include a decal including a substrate layer, and a removable adhesive layer applied to the substrate layer, the removable adhesive layer being capable of forming a temporary adhesive bond between the substrate layer and a support surface, and a folded display including a first panel connected to a second panel along a seam, a first tab connected to the first panel along a first side edge, a second tab connected to the second panel along a second side edge, and a permanent adhesive material applied to the first tab and the second tab, the permanent adhesive material being capable of forming a permanent adhesive bond between the tabs and the substrate layer.

Abstract: A method for recognizing a first party by a second party and rewarding the first party for such recognition, the first party including at least one biometric identifier, the method including performing, by the first party, an action, determining, by the second party, whether the action performed by the first party is a recognizable action, when the action is a recognizable action, making an identification of the first party using the biometric identifier and, based on the identification, awarding the first party points through a rewards program platform.

Abstract: A method of operating a mobile device based system is provided to facilitate a user to redeem reward points of a reward program. The method comprises monitoring location of a mobile device associated with the user. The method further comprises electronically by a processor, determining if a reward account associated with the mobile device contains available reward points for redemption by the user. The method also comprises presenting a redemption notification to the mobile device when location of the mobile device moves within a geofence boundary of a partner of the reward program and a determination has been made that the reward account contains available reward points for redemption by the user, wherein the redemption notification contains a redemption offer for a gift card by the partner of the reward program to the user.
