Title:
GEOGRAPHIC AREA MULTIPLE SERVICE CARD SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005089227
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention provides consumers with the services of multiple cards or accounts while allowing consumers to carry a single card, transponder, code and/or other access device. Because the card may access combined services such as financial transaction services and transportation services, the system may facilitate charging the financial account for the transportation services. The system may allow the consumer to use loyalty points or geographic based loyalty points to pay for the transportation services. The system may also limit the use of certain loyalty points based upon the geographic area for certain transportation services in certain geographic areas.
