Systems and methods are provided for operating an integrated stored-value
and loyalty program within a financial infrastructure. An identifier and
a packet of transaction information defining a transaction between a
merchant and a customer are received at a loyalty host. Qualifying
aspects of the transaction are identified from the packet of transaction
information. A customer reward is determined from the identified
qualifying aspects and a history of information defined by the
identifier. Information defining the reward is transmitted to a
stored-value host that records a value parameter that may be applied as
value by the customer to another transaction.
