  • Patent number: 12380463
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system for electronically validating coupons comprises a primary positive coupon database containing positive coupon data. The positive coupon data relates to one or more coupons known to the valid. The system further includes a computing system comprising a control circuit configured to execute a processing module that, when executed, receives electronic coupon data from a coupon comprising a machine-readable code, parses the electronic coupon data, compares the parsed electronic coupon data to the positive coupon data in the primary positive coupon database, and determines whether the coupon is valid by determining whether there is a match between the parsed electronic coupon data and the positive coupon data, and determining whether the coupon has expired based on an expiration date of the coupon contained in the parsed electronic coupon data and an identified expiration date.
