Abstract

Vehicle odometer numbers used as tool that support marketing campaign is disclosed. User needs to have working vehicle with working vehicle odometer. Also, same user needs to have electronic device capable to reach a website, email sites and/or text messaging capabilities over internet or other networks. Use needs to enter its vehicle odometer number at the beginning of the driving period and then again at the end of the driving period. The software of the user'"'"'s web page, emails and/or text messaging accepts all user'"'"'s inputs and calculate the differences between those two numbers. As a result of the subtraction, the number is multiplied by another number given by a third party, and the final number represent user'"'"'s earned point and/or money. Then user selects at least one of businesses that have links to their communication devices. Activating those links the links its account with the selected business and continue to communicate with those businesses.
