METHOD FOR DETERMINING A PERSONALIZED TRUE COST OF SERVICE OFFERINGS
First Claim
1. A machine readable medium, the machine readable medium having program instructions stored thereon for comparing service plans based on a user'"'"'s usage data executable by a processing unit, the program instructions comprising the steps of:
- collecting at least one of predicted and past service usage and reward earnings data for a user'"'"'s current service using a computer implemented facility;
analyzing the service usage and rewards earnings data to obtain a normalized service usage and rewards dataset;
normalizing data related to a plurality of alternative service offerings according to a normalized alternative service offering model;
applying the normalized alternative service offering model to the normalized service usage and rewards dataset to produce a plurality of alternative service offering normalized datasets; and
comparing the alternative service offering normalized datasets to the normalized usage dataset according to at least one element of the datasets to determine if an alternative service offering is better than the user'"'"'s current service.

Abstract
In embodiments of the invention, comparing service plans based on a user'"'"'s usage data may include collecting at least one of predicted and past service usage and reward earnings data for a user'"'"'s current service using a computer implemented facility, analyzing the service usage and rewards earnings data to obtain a normalized service usage and rewards dataset, normalizing data related to a plurality of alternative service offerings according to a normalized alternative service offering model, applying the normalized alternative service offering model to the normalized service usage and rewards dataset to produce a plurality of alternative service offering normalized datasets and comparing the alternative service offering normalized datasets to the normalized usage dataset according to at least one element of the datasets to determine if an alternative service offering is better than the user'"'"'s current service. Related user interfaces, applications, and computer program products are disclosed.
