Abstract
A method for determining a relocation recommendation for a relocating cardholder relocating from a first location to a target location is provided. The method is implemented using a relocation recommendation (RR) computing device in communication with a memory. The method includes receiving, from a cardholder device, a cardholder identifier for the relocating cardholder, and at least one of a general target area and the target location. The method also includes determining an area of interest for the relocating cardholder based at least in part on payment card transaction data at the first location, identifying at least one other cardholder having initiated payment card transactions within the target location and having the same area of interest as the relocating cardholder, determining at least one target merchant located within the target location that is associated with the area of interest, and transmitting, to the cardholder device, a relocation recommendation.
