Abstract

A computer-implemented method for transferring reward points between mobile computing devices is implemented by a first mobile computing device. The method includes receiving a first reward points balance associated with a first reward points account, detecting a second mobile computing device associated with a second reward points account wherein the second reward points account has a second reward points balance, initiating a transfer request from the first mobile computing device to the second mobile computing device, and sending a transfer command to a rewards program computer system wherein the transfer command instructs the rewards program computer system to transfer the at least one reward point between the first reward points account and the second reward points account.
