COMPUTER SERVER SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING WIRELESS ELECTRONIC ACTIONS BETWEEN PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND MULTIPLE REMOTE COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for facilitating wireless actions using a portable electronic device. A method of executing a software application on a portable electronic device includes: determining, via the portable electronic device, a location of the device; displaying, via the portable electronic device's display, plural user-selectable options within a predetermined proximity of the device's location; receiving, via a user input device, a selection corresponding to at least one of the user-selectable options; displaying, via the display device, an indication of server stored points accumulated by the user with the third-party computer system; displaying, via the display device, an exchange number for the server stored points for making a purchase associated with the selected option; and, responsive to a purchase request received via the user input device, authorizing deduction of the exchange value from the balance of the server stored points and providing confirmation of the purchase.

2 . A host computer server system for regulating electronic-based actions by a portable electronic device over a wireless network with third-party computer systems, the host computer server system comprising:
one or more server computers including one or more processors;
one or more communication devices communicatively coupling the one or more server computers with the portable electronic device and a third-party computer server system over the wireless network; and
one or more memory devices communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing processor-executable program components, the processor-executable program components comprising:
a location component configured to receive location data indicative of a location of the portable electronic device;
a proximity component configured to determine and transmit, to the portable electronic device over the wireless network, a list of user-selectable options corresponding to entities within a predetermined proximity of the location of the portable electronic device;
a selection component configured to receive, from the portable electronic device over the wireless network, an electronic indication of a selection of one of the user-selectable options corresponding to one of the entities;
an accumulation component configured to receive from the third-party computer server system an electronic indication of server-stored points accumulated by a user of the portable electronic device with a third-party entity associated with the third-party computer server system;
an exchange component configured to determine an exchange number of points for a subset of the accumulated server-stored points to complete an electronic-based wireless action with the selected one of the entities; and
an authorization component configured to authorize the electronic-based wireless action with the selected one of the entities for the exchange number of points of the accumulated server-stored points.
