Digital Coupons: A New Era

TGCSA's Coupon Redemption Program Can Process Digital Coupons

The process for clearing digital coupons is similar to that for clearing paper coupons. The biggest difference is the role of the digital coupon publisher.

Companies like YOU Technology, Cellfire and AOL Shortcut$ aggregate offers from manufacturers and provide them to retailers in digital format.

Consumers then search for their coupons online, link the coupons to to their store loyalty card and discounts are applied at the register in a purely paperless transaction.

The retailer stores the redemption data for transmitting to TGCSA Coupon Redemption Program on a regular basis. The data is validated and clears it through the manufacturer to ensure proper reimbursement to retailers.

Internet coupon use is on the rise.

Do your cashiers know how to recognize a legitimate internet coupon?

A Cashiers Tips to Assist in Recognizing Legitimate Internet Coupons poster is available from the Association of Coupon Professionals.
