COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING USER ACCOUNT DATA AND AWARD REDEMPTIONS

Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for managing user account data and award redemptions. In one embodiment, a system is provided that includes a web server configured to operate an online platform that enables a user to activate an award enhancement option for an award. The system also includes a data integration server communicatively coupled to the server. The data integration server may be configured to receive, from the web server, first identity data representing an identity of the user and activation data identifying the award enhancement option activated by the user, and store, in a memory device, the activation data with account data of the user. The system may also include an award management server communicatively coupled to the data integration server and configured to: receive second identity data and validation data associated with the user, the validation data confirming that the user is eligible for the award; query the data integration server based on the second identity data and obtain the activation data associated with the user; determine, based on at least one of the validation data and the activation data, whether the user qualifies for the award enhancement option for the award; and when it is determined that the user qualifies for the award enhancement option, automatically update the account data of the user to include redemption data indicating that the user is authorized to receive the award enhancement option.
