  • Publication number: 20180060897
    Abstract: Various embodiments herein relate to data processing, in particular with regard to a rule-based data processing engine. Such a rule-based data processing engine is employed in various embodiments to apply rules to customer data to generate offers of systems and programs, such as credit card and customer loyalty offerings, that achieve desired goals of an offering entity. One embodiment includes identifying at least one program for which an individual qualifies based upon data of the individual in view of respective program qualification criteria. This method further includes determining, for each identified program, at least one variable parameter of the respective program based on a respective parameter rule. This method then transmits, via a network, representations of each of the identified programs with respective determined parameters for presentation within a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20180060896
    Abstract: Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, methods, software, and modules for collateralization of reward or loyalty program liability. Some such embodiments provide mechanisms for identifying program liability that has a low likelihood of being redeemed, such as liability associated with participant accounts that have had no activity, and are therefore considered stale accounts, for a certain period, such as two or more years. Liability associated with such accounts may then be bundled into a pool and the entity operating the program may pay another entity to incur the liability for those accounts, typically for pennies on the dollar of financial value of the rewards involved.
