Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing benefits to local community entities via purchase card transactions are disclosed. In one example, the method includes receiving a message indicating that a purchase transaction has been initiated with a purchase transaction card associated with a community-based payment card reward program managed via the website management platform, using purchase transaction information contained in the message to determine if the purchase transaction was conducted in a local area specified by the community-based payment card reward program, applying a credit to a cardholder account associated with the purchase transaction card in the event the purchase transaction is initiated at a merchant site located within the local area and determining a donation amount to be provided to at least one charitable entity located within the local area in the event the purchase transaction is initiated at a merchant site located outside of the local area.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for linking product offerings with social network content. One exemplary method includes verifying, by a computing device, via an application programming interface (API) associated with the social network, a social network action, by a consumer, for a product in a social network, and awarding a discount to the consumer for the product, when the social network action is verified, whereby the consumer is able to purchase the product for the price of the product less the awarded discount. Often, the social network action is a “like” of the product, whereby a social network content associated with the product is then disseminated to at least one follower of the consumer in the social network in response to the action.
