Abstract

See full text

A portable consumer device is used to wirelessly communicate at least payment account data to a reservation system to make a reservation. If the same payment account is used to pay for the reserved good or service, an incentive can be received. Information on the incentive can be received, for example, at the hand held consumer electronic device. Within a hospitality industry environment, a consumer may use a hand held wireless telecommunication device to communicate the payment account number to a reservation broker that makes a reservation for dining at a restaurant. The consumer may also receive confirmation of the reservation at the hand held wireless telecommunication device. The consumer may receive information characterizing an incentive if the same payment account used to make the restaurant reservation is used to pay for the dinning associated with the reservation.
