As a way to solve the inconvenience of using the mileage provided only at the site that provided the mileage, a loyalty portal company provides a mileage by cooperating several sites and summing the mileage of each site as integrated mileage. There are Netcentives in the US, and there are netpoints and npoints in Korea. In addition, there is a site that exchanges the mileage of various sites online or offline to the desired mileage, for example, domestic point park.

The integrated mileage management method operated in this way has a problem that it is difficult to secure a desired use of the customer. In other words, it has a limitation of being a closed mileage network because the mileage must be acquired within the affiliated network and the mileage must be used within the affiliated network. Thus, the gap is exacerbated because the customer wants to purchase the desired product while the company wants to purchase the product. In particular, since alliances between offline companies have to purchase only offline products, there is a problem in that a customer cannot obtain a desired product.

The present invention was created to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to integrate the mileage provided by each site at a certain rate to exchange the mileage added by the user through the payment means for payment The present invention provides a mileage integration and exchange system and a method for freely purchasing goods from other sites.
