Abstract

A system and method for providing generic miles for a variety of behaviors that are redeemable for tickets for world-wide travel on any airline preferably comprises: a web server, an application server, a database server, and a disk array. The application server further comprises various modules including a mileage transfer unit (704), and account balance unit (706), a fraud detection unit (708), a transaction history unit (710) and an account status unit (712). These units are operable on the application server to provide a loyalty reward system for providing generic miles that provides much of the functionality electronically. In particular, the system allows generic miles to be transferred electronically, for the detection of fraudulent mileage transfers, for members and partners to check mileage account balances electronically, for the automatic generation and transmission of notification of mileage balance levels (720), and for the automatic maintenance of mile awards and redemption (716).
