Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing social media referrals based rewards to a customer. The systems and methods may provide incentives to customers of financial-service providers (“FSP”) based on their referrals to the FSP. Customer referrals may be determined for the customer by gathering data regarding referrals received from messages distributed by the customer via social media. Based on the referrals, an amount of rewards may be provided for business transactions initiated by the customer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A graphical user interface system comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving a registration request;
generating, and providing to a user, a registration interface in response to the registration request, the registration interface comprising an authentication control for authenticating the user and an authorization control for redirecting the user to an authorization page of a social media network; and
generating, and providing to the user, an influence interface comprising a share control for redirecting the user to a post page associated with the social media network, the post page preconfigured with a preset message, the preset message being formatted for the social media network based on information provided to a service provider server indicating a selection of the social media network, the preset message comprising a unique referral link associated with the user.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the influence interface comprises obtaining an authorization from a social-network server.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the registration interface comprises changing a website display to indicate a request to access social network data of the social media network.

4. A method comprising:
receiving a registration request;
generating, for display to a user, an authorization control for redirecting the user to an authorization page of a social media network based on the registration request; and
generating, for display to the user, an interface comprising a share control for redirecting the user to a post page associated with the social media network, the post page preconfigured with a preset message, the preset message being formatted for the social media network based on information provided to a service provider server indicating a selection of the social media network, the preset message comprising a unique referral link associated with the user.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising tracking a number of times the unique referral link is used by other users.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein tracking a number of times the unique referral link is used by other users comprises determining a number of new users that are registered via the unique referral link.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising updating a reward value based on the number of new users that are registered.

8. The method of claim 4 , further comprising generating the preset message, wherein generating the preset message comprises generating the preset message based on a previous reward value associated with the user.

9. The method of claim 4 , further comprising generating the preset message based on a social-media influence level associated with the user.

10. The method of claim 4 , further comprising generating the preset message based on a character limit associated with the social media network.

11. The method of claim 4 , wherein generating the unique referral link comprises:
generating a longer original link; and
generating a shortened link based on the longer original link, wherein the unique referral link comprises the shortened link.

12. The method of claim 4 , wherein the preset message is a first preset message,
and wherein the social media network is a first social media network, and wherein the authorization page is a first authorization page, and wherein the post page is a first post page, further comprising generating a second authorization control for redirecting the user to a second authorization page of a second social media network, wherein:
the share control comprises a first button for redirecting the user to the first post page and a second button for redirecting the user to a second post page associated with the second social media network;
the second post page preconfigured with a second preset message different from the first preset message;
the second preset message is formatted for the second social media network; and
the second preset message comprises the unique referral link associated with the user.

13. A system comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving a registration request;
generating, for display to a user, an authorization control for redirecting the user to an authorization page of a social media network based on the registration request; and
generating, for display to the user, an interface comprising a share control for redirecting the user to a post page associated with the social media network, the post page preconfigured with a preset message, the preset message being formatted for the social media network based on information provided to a service provider server indicating a selection of the social media network, the preset message comprising a unique referral link associated with the user.

14. The system of claim 13 , the operations further comprising tracking a number of times the unique referral link is used by other users comprises determining a number of new users that are registered via the unique referral link.

15. The system of claim 14 , the operations further comprising updating a reward value based on the number of new users that are registered.

16. The system of claim 13 , the operations further comprising generating the preset message, wherein generating the preset message comprises:
determining a previous reward value associated with the user; and
generating the preset message based on the previous reward value associated with the user.

17. The system of claim 13 , the operations further comprising generating the preset message based on a social-media influence level associated with the user.

18. The system of claim 13 , the operations further comprising generating the preset message based on a character limit associated with the social media network.

19. The system of claim 13 , wherein generating the unique referral link comprises:
generating a longer original link; and
generating a shortened link based on the longer original link, wherein the unique referral link comprises the shortened link.

20. The system of claim 13 , wherein the preset message is a first preset message, and wherein the social media network is a first social media network, and wherein the authorization page is a first authorization page, and wherein the post page is a first post page, the operations further comprising generating a second authorization control for redirecting the user to a second authorization page of a second social media network, wherein:
the share control comprises a first button for redirecting the user to the first post page and a second button for redirecting the user to a second post page associated with the second social media network;
the second post page preconfigured with a second preset message different from the first preset message;
the second preset message is formatted for the second social media network; and
the second preset message comprises the unique referral link associated with the user.
