The ATM then electronically communicates with the redemption database to retrieve the predetermined dollar value associated with the unique identifier. Finally, the ATM transfers to the customer an award equal to the predetermined dollar value in cash or credit.

Introduced is a technology for withdrawing cash from a cash transaction machine (CTM) by use of a mobile payment application installed on a mobile device of a consumer user (“the CTM technology”). Briefly described, the CTM technology enables a consumer user to identify one or more CTMs from which to withdraw cash by using his/her mobile device (e.g., a smartphone) as a “virtual” card. A particular CTM can be a conventional ATM or a POS system at a merchant's place of business. The user can use a mobile payment application installed on the user's mobile device to identify any nearby CTMs, request a withdrawal amount from a particular CTM from the identified nearby CTMs, receive a transaction code specific to that particular CTM, and physically obtain, or collect, the cash representative of the withdrawal amount at that particular CTM using the transaction code.
