Abstract
A card may receive and store one or more coupon offers (e.g., promotions, awards, rewards, or incentives). Coupon offers, associated details, and associated coupon detail updates may be displayed onto one or more displays of a card. A cardholder may monitor, purchase, and redeem such coupon offers automatically and/or by activating manual inputs (e.g., buttons) on the card. Cardholders and one or more components of a payment monitoring system may encourage increased patronage for merchants, since coupon redemption values may be qualified and/or increased through increased interaction of the members. Such increased interaction of the members may be monitored by each member through coupon detail updates displayed on each member'"'"'s card.
