Abstract
Methods and systems are employed for searching a first user's calendar schedule for a meeting with a second user, providing an offer from a merchant based on a user's calendar schedule and automatically applying the offer from the merchant based on arrival of the first user and second user at the merchant's location. The verification of the presence of the first user and the second user may be based on identifying the location of each user, and offers from merchant locations may be provided based on the respective locations of the users.
