A point of sale (POS) rebate method and system allows a consumer purchasing a product having an associated manufacturer's mail-in rebate to redeem the rebate at the POS. Products that have associated manufacturer rebates are recognized when the products are purchased, e.g., based on information stored in a rebate database. When such products are identified, terms and conditions of a POS rebate are determined. The value of the POS rebate may be determined based on the value of the mail-in rebate offered by the manufacturer. The value of the POS rebate may be determined by querying a server containing rebate information, such as a server operated by or on behalf of the manufacturer or retailer. The consumer is then prompted to choose whether to keep the original manufacturer's mail-in rebate, or to accept the POS rebate, along with any terms and conditions associated with the POS rebate.

An entirely automated system for the interpretation of the field layout for multi-field files uses a rich contextual framework constructed by the interaction of three subsystems to provide a holistic view of the contexts of a structured data file as defined by the location and data type of each field. The roles of each of the subsystems are (1) the determination of the file's metadata and positions of the different data fields; (2) the use of fallible oracles (i.e., no oracle must be capable of identifying the type for every record) to provide a set of interpretations of the fields at several levels; and (3) the accurate determination of the location and specific data type for each field without the necessity to interpret every record correctly, even in the presence of ambiguity of data. The system may operate on both delimited and fixed—width structure files.
