    摘要: A system and method for facilitating the sale of travel products is disclosed. The system receives travel inquiries from requesters for preferred travel products (905). The system in turn selects and offers the requester an alternate travel product which has a greater value to the seller if sold than the requester's preferred travel product (925). Various systems and methods are disclosed for determining whether an alternate travel product has a greater value to the seller if sold than the preferred travel product. Exemplary determinations are based on profit margin and load factor discrepancy between the preferred travel product and the alternate travel product. The system further provides for the selection and offering of a benefit in conjunction with a requester's acceptance of an alternate travel product, and for the selection of the benefit based on the differences between the requester's preferred travel product and the alternate travel product.

    摘要: According to some embodiments, systems, methods, and/or articles of manufacture are associated with identifying a product associated with a first rebate, the first rebate being redeemable by mailing a predetermined document associated with the first rebate to a first entity associated with the product, determining whether a second rebate is associated with the product, wherein the second rebate is not identified by the predetermined document associated with the first rebate, offering, in the case that the second rebate is determined to be associated with the product, the second rebate to a consumer in exchange for the first rebate, and issuing the second rebate to the consumer in exchange for the first rebate. Embodiments may also or alternatively be associated with obtaining and/or altering the predetermined document, surrendered or provided by the consumer at a retailer terminal operated by a second entity, such that the consumer can no longer redeem the first rebate by mailing the document to the first entity.

    摘要: A point of sale (POS) rebate method and system allows a consumer purchasing a product having an associated manufacturer's mail-in rebate to redeem the rebate at the POS. Products that have associated manufacturer rebates are recognized when the products are purchased, e.g., based on information stored in a rebate database. When such products are identified, terms and conditions of a POS rebate are determined. The value of the POS rebate may be determined based on the value of the mail-in rebate offered by the manufacturer. The value of the POS rebate may be determined by querying a server containing rebate information, such as a server operated by or on behalf of the manufacturer or retailer. The consumer is then prompted to choose whether to keep the original manufacturer's mail-in rebate, or to accept the POS rebate, along with any terms and conditions associated with the POS rebate.
