Systems and methods are provided through which loyalty reward tokens are automatically generated and redeemed through one or more decentralized distributed ledger nodes based on dynamic tracking of user transactions. As transaction data associated with a user is received, transaction tokens are automatically minted through a decentralized distributed ledger. When a threshold amount of transaction tokens corresponding to a loyalty reward has been minted, the provided systems automatically generate a rewards token in the decentralized distributed ledger. The rewards token is redeemable for use with a merchant system, whereby when the rewards token is redeemed, the merchant system can apply the corresponding reward.

Systems and methods of tracking and rewarding users of any of a variety of content hosting systems, such as search engines. In one embodiment, a method of rewarding a user of a search engine includes receiving secure identification information identifying a user, retrieving user account information using the secure identification information, receiving a search query associated with the user account information, crediting the user account with a reward that is directly related to providing the search query, and returning search results in response to the received search query.

Disclosed are various embodiments for surfacing local merchants with enhanced rewards opportunities to customers. First, a computing device can determine that a merchant satisfies a qualification criterion and add the merchant to a list of qualified merchants. Then, the computing device can send a message to a client application executing on a client device associated with a transaction account, the notification indicating that the merchant is a qualified merchant. Then, the computing device receives a first message from the client device indicating that a user of the client device is travelling from a first location to the merchant. Later, the computing device receives a second message from the client device indicating that the user of the client device has arrived at the merchant. A distance traveled by the client device is calculated and award value is calculated based on the distance traveled.

An end-user computing device may utilize an imaging device to capture input from an electronic tag of a physical asset. The end-user computing device may generate supplemental digital data associated with the input. The end-user computing device may transmit the input and the supplemental digital data to an authentication and digital assets server. The authentication and digital assets server may authenticate the physical asset and transmit the authentication results to the end-user computing device, which may display the authentication results. If the authentication of the physical asset is successful, the authentication and digital assets server may select one or more digital assets and transmit the one or more digital assets to the end-user computing device. The end-user computing device may display the one or more digital assets.

A loyalty program management system associated with an enterprise location is provided. The loyalty program management system is programmed to: a) receive a plurality of input data associated with a plurality of patrons, wherein the plurality of input data represents actions of the plurality of patrons; b) determine a current location of a patron of the plurality of patrons, wherein the current location of the patron is not at the enterprise location; and c) transmit a message to a computer device associated with the patron including a prize to be awarded if the patron visits the enterprise location.

A location based consumer interface for retail environments includes a plurality of data packet generators distributed around a retail store. The data packet generators include a wireless communication device and are configured to wirelessly transmit codes to mobile computing devices in the retail store. The codes are received by the mobile computing devices, and can be used to present promotional or other content to the consumer, such as content related to the consumer's current location within the store. The codes can also be used for other purposes, such as for use as part of a store rewards program. In some embodiments a vendor is charged a fee for presentation of the content to the consumer.

In some implementations, a device may be configured to detect an advertisement on a webpage. In addition, the device may be configured to replace the detected advertisement with a visually distinct placeholder within the webpage's content. The device may be configured to animate the placeholder to indicate the removal of the advertisement. Moreover, the device may be configured to remove the placeholder to render the webpage as ad-free to the user. Also, the device may be configured to detect an affiliate tag associated with a rewards program on the webpage. Further, the device may be configured to present a prompt to the user with options to: block the affiliate tag, retain the existing tag, or use an integrated rewards program. In addition, the device may be configured to receive the user's selection from the prompt. The device may include executing the user's selection to manage the tag accordingly.

A method for tracking patronage of a customer in at least one casino property is described. The method comprises monitoring a wireless handset location that is associated with the customer using a server. The server then proceeds to authenticate the wireless handset and the wireless handset communicates location information to server using at least one wireless networking protocol. The server generates a user profile associated with the customer that comprises at least one attribute. Complimentary prizes are determined by the server based on at least one attribute of the user profile. And the server sends a message to the wireless handset that is associated with the complimentary prize.

Vehicle theft prevention measures are promoted by providing a controller configured to receive, from a vehicle, information corresponding to the vehicle theft prevention measures performed by a user; and output information for providing an incentive to the user according to the information received from the vehicle.
