Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a rewards payment form linked directly to a rewards account are described. The rewards points may be spent directly by the customer through the use of the payment form linked to the rewards account. The payment form may be a payment card (e.g., a physical card having an account number accessible via a magstripe, an EMV chip, etc.) or a virtual payment card loaded into a mobile wallet accessible by the customer. The rewards payment form allows the customer to spend the rewards points stored in the rewards account without first going through the extra step of converting the rewards points into currency.
