Abstract

Provided herein are systems, methods, and computer readable storage media for facilitating registration of consumers in merchant rewards programs. In providing such functionality, the system can be configured to, for example, receive input of various consumer data, determine if the consumer data has already been registered in a rewards program, and if a consumer is not registered, facilitate the registration of the consumer in a merchant rewards program.
