DISTRIBUTED LEDGER-BASED LOYALTY REWARD POINTS RECONCILIATION PLATFORMS
Distributed ledger-based loyalty reward points reconciliation platforms are disclosed. Embodiments may include a distributed ledger-supported platform that may enable multiple loyalty points/currencies to be distributed by multiple unaffiliated third-parties (e.g., partner merchants) in a transparent, automated way that facilitates adding loyalty points/miles to end customer loyalty accounts as well as settlement between the program provider and the partner merchant. This may be in exchange for some a fixed or per transaction fee for the program provider. The platform may further facilitate the “burning,” or using, of points by reversing the transaction flow and deducting points from the customer loyalty account.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTERFACING WITH A WEBSITE TO MODIFY CONTENT
Computer systems and methods for interfacing with a third party website, comprising determining that a webpage of the third party website is being output in an interface of a web browser, and in response, generating an interface element that at least partially overlaps the webpage in the interface. The interface element includes a user-selectable graphical trigger that, when selected, causes digital codes to be automatically input into a data entry interface identified in the webpage, thereby triggering the third party website to receive each of the digital codes and to return a respective response. Based on monitoring the respective response to each of the digital codes, a particular digital code is identified that causes a greatest change in a numerical value displayed in the webpage. The particular digital code is applied to obtain a resulting numerical value that is displayed in the webpage.

Distribution of fractional equity rewards based on purchase behavior
Herein disclosed are systems and methods for distributing fractional equity rewards to users of a loyalty platform based on tracked user loyalty purchases. The disclosed systems and methods may reduce time between a user loyalty purchase and distribution of a fractional equity reward determined based on the user loyalty purchase. In one example, by maintaining a pre-purchased supply of shares within an inventory account of the loyalty platform, and by distributing fractional equity rewards to user accounts on the loyalty platform from the pre-purchased supply, a reduction in reward distribution time may be enabled. Further, by maintaining the pre-purchased supply of shares of stock within the inventory based on a running average rate of fractional equity reward distribution, and predicted events, the amount of stock in the inventory may be intelligently controlled to reduce excess inventory, while reducing a probability of reward distribution delay.

SYSTEM FOR THE MERCHANDISING AND DELIVERY OF CUSTOMIZED INFORMATION RELATED TO A SPECIFIC PRODUCT OF INTEREST TO A CONSUMER
A system and method is provided for delivering customized information related to a specific product of interest to consumer. In practice, the consumer uses a suitably enabled portable, mobile and/or wireless device (e.g., such as a mobile camera phone) to scan or otherwise read a marker associated with a product, retail item or other article of interest. From the marker, a unique ID is obtained (i.e., the marker ID). The marker ID is then used to cross-reference a URL or other like address in a database that relates marker IDs to corresponding URLs. The target URL is returned to the consumer's device and an http session is established with a content management server at the target URL. In one suitable embodiment, the content management server obtains a SKU and/or template web page ID that are associated with the marker ID in a database. Suitably, the SKU relates to the specific product with which the marker was associated. Having in this way determined the actual specific product of interest to the consumer, customized information related thereto can be delivered to the consumer's device, e.g., via a web page optimized for the identified device. Optionally, the web page content and/or template is obtained from a database that associates the same with the template web page ID received by the content management server.
