Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for providing a social media offer system to users. The system assists users in determining whether the users are eligibly for offers provided through social media. In some situations, the system also facilitates eligibility by assisting the user in qualifying for the offer. The system determines that a primary user shared an offer with a secondary user; determines an identity of the secondary user; and determines whether the secondary user is eligible for the offer based on the identity of the secondary user. If the secondary user is not eligible, the system provides information to the secondary user, such as instructions in how to become eligible.
