API: POST Offer Activation

Overview

An offer activation is the relationship between an offer and a user's account or specific card sourced from the publisher of the offer. If an offer is account wide, you must include all cards that belong to the user to ensure that they will receive the offer reward no matter which card is used. If a new card is added to an account later on, a new offer mapping must be created with the new card and the existing offer.

Offer activations are used by Banyan to know which receipts on the Banyan network to assess for offers. If an offer activation is missing either a consumer token or a card last four, it will not be considered for an offer redemption.

In this POST, the offer id is supplied as part of the path and the body of the call has all of the details in it described above.
