Abstract

A user accesses an account management system website via a user computing device and establishes a user account with the account management system. The user downloads an application onto the user computing device, which receives information for one or more loyalty cards. A loyalty card is associated with a merchant system location in response to a user request, in response to a request from a merchant device, in response to being read by a merchant POS device, or as a result of the loyalty card being identified by the account management system, based on aggregate data received from a plurality of user computing devices, as belonging to a loyalty card class associated with one or more merchant system locations. The user enters the merchant system location and the application detects the user computing device location. The application suggests the loyalty card according to user-configured alert settings.
