Abstract: Systems and methods for issuance of individualized promotional offers that can only be redeemed for purchase of specified items are disclosed. The promotional offers are only valid when they are used to purchase certain items. If an attempt to use the promotional offer is made and an authorized product is not part of the purchase transaction, the promotional offer will not be useable. Instead, the operator of the point-of-sale device that receives the promotional offer will not be able to validate the promotional offer. The validation of the promotional offer (when a correct item is part of the purchase) or lack thereof (when a correct item is not part of the purchase) occurs entirely at the point of sale, without requiring a point-of-sale device to communicate externally with any systems or devices to receive instructions relating to which products are authorized for use with the promotional offers.
