We've been modeling a loyalty card as just another form of credential (in the Credentials CG sense of the word). So, the buy flow would look something like this: 1. Merchant requests loyalty card credential (if you have one). 2. Credential is delivered, price is adjusted. 3. Customer initiates payment. 4. Digital receipt is delivered to merchant. This whole process could be automated w/ a more streamlined buyflow: 1. Merchant provides two invoices one with loyalty card and one without. 2. Customer is notified of a discount opportunity and is prompted to send loyalty card along with payment. 3. Payment is made. 4. Digital receipt, with embedded loyalty card info, is delivered to merchant. There are some other buy flows that are interesting as well, but the general idea here is that a loyalty card is a type of credential (not a payment instrument). -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: High-Stakes Credentials and Web Login http://manu.sporny.org/2014/identity-credentials/
