Utilizing geo-fencing technology on mobile devices, notifications are sent to a user when they enter a variable sized radius of a merchant offering an eReward. The notification may allow the user to redeem the reward directly from the notification, by allowing the user to confirm their intent and causing the user to receive a terms and conditions alert. Once the terms and conditions alert is accepted, the user will hit a website end-point that will deduct the points from the eRewards account and present the eReward to the mobile client device, e.g., into a “passbook” or the like. In a preferred embodiment, only users with the capability to purchase the reward will be notified, and users will be able to one-step redeem the award from the notification itself.

Business profiles are created using information from third parties. A user is enabled to indicate a business type for one or more merchants, and a system prompts the user to input information relating to the one or more merchants. The system determines the validity of the input information, and when the validity of the input information is verified, the input information is transformed into directory information. Official merchant pages can thus be created by crowd-sourcing important and pertinent information, which will lead to a more extensive directory of businesses and allow users a more complete and enjoyable experience.

A mobile client device or the like stores a library of potential points of interest that are pre-transferred to the mobile device by the system. The system identifies a normal commerce range and transfers information relating to potential points of interest based on the normal commerce range of the user. By accessing the library of points of interest stored on the mobile client device, network roundtrips between the device and server can be minimized, thereby enhancing performance characteristics of the mobile client device.
