CA 2297787

An on-line incentive system provides a means for a consumer to enter an earning activity to earn value from the merchant. If the consumer qualifies, value, in the form of private label currency, is transferred from the merchant to the consumer without re-directing the consumer away from the merchant's web site. The merchant requests authorization to a clearinghouse site to transfer value from the merchant to the consumer via a value transfer network. The request is dispatched, via the Internet, from the merchant site to the clearinghouse site. If the value transfer is unsuccessful, then the incentive management system enters asynchronous retransmission mode, wherein the value transfer is periodically initiated from the merchant location to the clearinghouse location. At the clearinghouse site, authorization for the value transfer is determined, and a response message that indicates a status for the authorization is dispatched to the merchant. Thereafter, a response is sent to the consumer that indicates the status of the authorization request.

Ce système de primes en ligne constitue pour un consommateur un moyen de participer à une activité donnant lieu à remise de primes par le commerçant. Si le consommateur réussit, la prime, en l'occurrence une contremarque de marque privée, est transférée du commerçant au consommateur sans faire passer le consommateur hors du site web du commerçant. Le commerçant demande au site d'un centre de compensation l'autorisation de transférer la prime du commerçant vers le consommateur via un réseau de transfert de primes. La demande est envoyée, via l'Internet, du site du commerçant au site du centre de compensation. Si le transfert de prime ne réussit pas, le système de gestion des primes passe en mode de retransmission asynchrone, auquel cas il y a périodiquement tentative de transfert de la position du commerçant vers la position du centre de compensation. Au niveau du site du centre de compensation, on détermine l'autorisation correspondant au transfert de prime, à la suite de quoi il y a envoi au commerçant d'un message de réponse qui indique un état correspondant à l'autorisation. A la suite de cela, il y a envoi au consommateur d'une réponse qui indique l'état de la demande d'autorisation.
