Abstract:
A computer-implemented method and system to facilitate a purchase by a cardmember using a transaction instrument associated with a tax-advantaged account, wherein the tax-advantaged account is associated with a healthcare plan. A request is received from a merchant to charge the tax-advantaged account for a transaction associated with the transaction instrument. A determination is made whether the charge is for a covered tax-advantaged expense The tax-advantaged account is credited with healthcare plan related points associated with the value of the charge only if the charge is determined to be for a covered tax-advantaged expense. The tax-advantaged account is also credited with transaction instrument related points associated with the value of the charge only if the charge is determined to be for a covered tax-advantaged expense.

A method comprises the steps of: receiving, at a host computer, a request from a purchaser for payment authorization for a charge for an item; determining whether said item qualifies for payment of a discounted amount of the item charge; receiving at the host computer a request from a provider for payment of the item charge; identifying a funding source of the purchaser from which to draw funds for payment of the item charge; and causing the funding source to be debited for at least a portion of the discounted amount of the item charge based on the payment authorization.

Abstract:
A system, method and computer program product for capturing Line-Item-Detail to assist in substantiating eligible expenses for participating card holders. The system leverages existing data feeds to capture Line-Item-Detail at a point of sale (POS). Advanced filtering and transmission protocols are implemented to enable the process of capturing and transmission of data. The system helps to reduce the number of paper receipts that are required from card members, especially those resulting from over the counter purchases at retail stores. By flagging eligible purchases, the invention aids in automation of the rebate/claims process thereby leading to a faster rebate process and hence, improving customer satisfaction.
