Abstract

See full text

Systems, methods, and devices for implementing a pooled reward program that incentivizes consumer spending by exploiting the competitive nature of humans are described. Multiple consumers form a reward program group. When a target (either consumer level or group level) is met or exceeded, at least one consumer of the group receives a reward/benefit. When the target is group level, at least one consumer with the highest value receives a benefit/reward when the group value meets or exceeds the target. When the target is consumer level, the consumer that meets or surpasses the target first receives the benefit/reward. Upon one or more of the consumers receiving the benefit/reward, the point values may be zeroed, and the competition may be started over.
