Abstract
A loyalty server enables customers to use a merchant's mobile loyalty and payment program by pairing a customer's loyalty account through use of temporary codes. A customer may login to the customer's loyalty and payment account using a loyalty application installed on a mobile device. The customer can request a temporary code from the loyalty server, and provide it to a POS system associated with a merchant. The POS system can send a request to the loyalty server to retrieve customer information corresponding to the temporary code. The POS system can receive the customer's information, and the customer then earns rewards for transactions conducted with the merchant. In some embodiments, the POS system conducts a transaction using rewards or coupons. In some embodiments, the loyalty server obtains and utilizes the geolocation of the mobile device and the merchant as a portion of the means for pairing.
