Abstract:
A system and method for providing, on a user device, a way to confirm and track rewards earned based on online transaction on a user device without unnecessary reliance on publisher. The disclosed systems and methods move the authorization and confirmation of earned rewards from the purview of the publisher and/or advertiser to the user. The systems and methods empower the user by providing control and information on the process of reward payment that is traditionally handled or controlled by the other parties involved in the reward payment process. The systems and methods provide immediate confirmation that a reward has been earned and creates a record validating that the user is entitled to the reward. The confirmation and record provided by the systems and methods increases the user's ability to advocate for their position while the publisher is provided with further assurance that a reward payment is justified.
