AmEx is the king of check ins - and it could own local | VentureBeat - 0 views

  • Yelp provides near universal coverage in the United States, but it still doesn’t have enough information to provide useful recommendations.
  • It’s complete, not aspirational.

      Importance of transaction data in recommender systems, vs social data
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • It’s validated.
  • It is harder to spam. Restaurant owners and competitors can’t manipulate their ratings given the volume of data.
  • It doesn’t suffer from a sample bias like Yelp does.
  • Yelp has 27.6 million reviews in its entire history, about 20% of which are spam.
  • Recommend restaurants based on other restaurants you’ve visited. People who regularly go to Applebee’s might get more chain restaurants, people who eat at fancy places will get more fancy places.
  • Make recommendations based on budget. Unlike local sites that rely on users to give price ranges, AmEx knows what the typical transactions are.
  • Tell me what businesses are open on a holiday. It’s Memorial Day and I don’t know what’s open. By collecting and analyzing real-time swipe data, AmEx could tell me where I can go. (Presumably businesses that are swiping transactions are open.)
  • I’ve asked AmEx executives at various levels for data and the answer is always the same: no.
  • AmEx also does not currently have SKU-level data.
  • With SKU-level data, AmEx likely would have allowed the Brookstone charge to go through, knowing that Pan Am cufflinks fit with my profile as an aviation buff.
  • Large retailers like Amazon are unlikely to share SKU-level data with transaction processors. That data is too valuable. But smaller retailers might. At a much smaller scale, that’s what the small businesses that use Square Register are doing.
