Facilitating the application of a ledger to programmatically identify duplicate data objects indicative of multiple card-linked offers provided against a single transaction

Abstract

A method, apparatus and computer program products are provided for facilitating the application of a ledger, or data structure in general, to programmatically identify duplicate data objects, such as those indicative of card-linked offers provided against a single transaction, and more specifically, to the utilization of a global ledger to identify stacking of card-linked offers. One example method includes receiving an indication of an interaction between two devices, generating distributed ledger data, the distributed ledger data indicative of a previous interaction between the primary device and an entity, causing transmission of the distributed ledger data to each of a plurality of nodes in a offerer network, after a predetermined amount of time, causing performance of a comparison within the distributed ledger data to determine that the entity and a second entity comprise corresponding data objects, applying a rule to generate an adjusted value.
