Managing vendor offers

Abstract

A system, method, and computer-readable media are described for facilitating management of electronic vendor offers. A user device with a graphical user interface and a display can communicate with a vender offer manager that is coupled with a communication network. The display can present one or more portions of an electronic offer card (e.g., a virtual loyalty card or an electronic discount card). The vendor offer manager can verify that the one or more criteria for utilizing an activated electronic card has been fulfilled (e.g., fulfilled by the user device). The vendor offer manager can also modify the electronic cards associated with the user device based on the verification of the one or more criteria.
