The consumer can expend the rebate according to terms of use of the first value instrument issuer, typically in incremental amounts within a maximum period of time. Upon reaching an expiration date, or by another process such as when reaching a minimum balance or when requested by the consumer, at least part of a residual value associated with the account of the first value instrument issuer is applied to issue a second value instrument that can have different and potentially more restrictive terms of use, such as an in-store value card or a discount coupon. In this way, the residual value and its promotional effect are not lost. | 03-14-2013 |
