A cash rebate award system with increased payout options is presented,
wherein a consumer using a financial alternative to currency is rewarded
based on the purchases made by the consumer within a given time frame,
and is allowed to electronically transfer the award into any number of
banking or investment accounts. A standard electronic currency transfer
system, such as the ABA routing number system, or the ACH routing system,
can be used so as not to limit the accounts into which the consumer can
transfer their award. Consumers can also choose to transfer their award
to multiple accounts, or accounts belonging to others, such as family or
charities. Account information can also be saved for more efficient
subsequent transfers, and automated transfers can also be set up by the
consumer.
