1. An automated method of triggering an event based on occurrence of a point-of-sale (POS) transaction, the method comprising:
receiving, by an event processing server, a first event triggering request from a first mobile interface device associated with a first account, the first event triggering request identifying a desired event, a first triggering event, and a second account;
receiving, by the event processing server, a second event triggering request from a second mobile interface device associated with a second account, the second event triggering request identifying the desired event, a second triggering event, and the first account;
receiving, by the event processing server from a transaction processing server, notification of an occurrence of a merchant POS transaction associated with the first account or the second account;
determining, by the event processing server, whether the merchant POS transaction is one of the first and second triggering events;
responsive to a determination that the merchant POS transaction is one of the first and second triggering events, determining, by the event processing server, whether all of the first and second triggering events have occurred; and
responsive to a determination that all of the first and second triggering events have occurred, initiating the desired event.
