Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for facilitating check-ins that are resistant to common fraud scenarios while also being relatively inexpensive. One or more embodiments include displaying unique tokens in quick succession on a display positioned at the check-in location (e.g., a store, restaurant, or other business or location). Customers have a short period of time (e.g., a few seconds, five minutes, etc.) to scan a particular check-in token before a new token is displayed on the display. Each token may encode a pre-determined number or identification code that cannot be guessed by the user and that can be verified by the system to validate the check-in. By periodically changing the check-in token displayed to users and limiting each token to a single use within a short timeframe, users are prevented from checking in remotely.
