The application server further comprises various modules including a mileage transfer unit (704), and account balance unit (706), a fraud detection unit (708), a transaction history unit (710) and an account status unit (712). These units are operable on the application server to provide a loyalty reward system for providing generic miles that provides much of the functionality electronically.
