Upon entering the substitute email address, the system marks the buyer's account so any reward is paid to the substitute email address associated with the a financial account.

Abstract: A system and method for operating a loyalty reward program integrated with a shopping cart checkout software through the buyer's online invoice and utilizing email marketing. A seller registers with the system and takes steps to integrate the loyalty system into the seller's shopping cart checkout software including the addition of HTML text placed in the shopping cart checkout software's online buyer invoice as a line item in the invoice. The reward offer is next presented to the buyer by the system in response to a call after a buyer clicks the link placed in the Online Buyer Invoice. Upon acceptance of the offer, registered by a click on the acceptance link, the shopping cart checkout software sends the buyer's relevant information from the Online Buyer Invoice to the loyalty reward web site. The system records the buyer acceptance of the loyalty invitation and calculates the appropriate reward due the buyer for opting-in.
