Abstract: A container has elastomeric sheets defining a periphery with four sides. A seal extends about the periphery defining a closed chamber. A separator extends across the closed chamber dividing the closed chamber into a first compartment and a second compartment. The separator includes a rod for wrapping the sheets around the rod to define a dividing portion. A retainer clip presents an inner wall clamped about the dividing portion providing an impermeable closure between the sheets. The sheets define at least two aligned and spaced pockets separated by a gap whereby removing the rod from the retainer clip and inserting the rod into the pockets extending across the gap and clamping the retainer clip over the rod to define a handle. The present invention also includes a method for mixing a first component and a second component in the container and releasing the components.

Abstract: A system allows a company to configure custom post purchase marketing campaigns to offer to customers. Customers can receive a code via email, postcard, receipt, onpack, or the like, distributed by the company to the customer after a purchase. The customer can then follow the redemption instructions and access a web site, according to an aspect of the present invention, to complete the claim for benefit in the form of a reward or warranty. By establishing a single point of entry, the customer benefits from easy access to the status of their claim and offers value. The business offering the reward is insured that the rules governing the offer are followed on all claims. The system establishes the rules that govern post purchase reward redemption codes, supports the redemption ecosystem, creates, distributes, validates, and fulfills based on eligible codes assigned to clients.
