    Abstract: Embodiments provide methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable media associated with provisioning of promotional offers from merchants to consumers. Merchants may submit schedules to a promotional offer provision service. The schedules may describe promotional offers which are usable during specific pre-determined time periods. The schedules may also describe other aspects of the promotional offers, such as type of offer or discount, and may include restrictions, such as restrictions based on a consumer's history of follow-through. Consumers may search the system, such as through a website, for offers of interest. Consumers may search based on criteria such as time and location. If the consumer accepts the offer, he or she may be provided a coupon with a unique code for presentation to the merchant. The consumer may also negotiate terms of the promotional offer, if desired. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
