  • Patent number: 8412639
    Abstract: The disclosed system enables merchants to ship products to a predefined address that may or may not be an account holder's billing address. The account holder may define one or more alias identifiers that correspond to a predefined shipping address. The predefined shipping address is stored with a corresponding alias identifier. A merchant order form includes a field to accept an alias identifier, such that when the order form is submitted to the merchant and the merchant prepares a purchase authorization request, the alias identifier is included in the request. The credit account issuer receives the payment authorization request and extracts the alias identifier, which is used to locate a matching stored alias identifier. A shipping address corresponding to the stored alias identifier is retrieved and returned to the merchant with an authorization message.

  • Publication number: 20080243587
    Abstract: A rewards program has been developed that increases incremental spend by a consumer while maximizing the profits to a transactional account company. In an embodiment, a predicted spend of a given consumer over a given time period is calculated. A spend threshold for the consumer is set based on the predicted spend over the given time period. An incremental spend reward offer is then customized for the consumer, where the offer maximizes profits resulting from the offer based on a calculation of consumer profits derived from campaign group responses. The customization may involve, for example, simulating a response of the given consumer to an offer having various combinations of incentive variables, with the customized offer including the combination of incentive variables that maximizes profits resulting from the offer in the simulation. The consumer is rewarded for spend above the spend threshold during the given time period.
