Embodiments of the present invention automatically link users to card-linked offers. A card-linked offer is an incentive tied to a user's credit card or other form of electronic payment. To be eligible to receive offers, a user may choose to link one or more of their credit cards within the service. The incentive associated with the offer is automatically given to the user when a payment method linked to this service is used to make the purchase. Embodiments of the present invention automatically associate linked offers with users who are presumed to have an interest in the offer. Machine learning algorithms and classifiers may be used to identify a user's interests and match them with offers for a product or service that fits their interests. When an offer is autolinked, the user receives a notification. Various methods of providing the notification are possible including email, text, and geolocation-based notification.
