  • Publication number: 20120310720
    Abstract: An approach is provided for processing promotional information for facilitating a point-of-sales transaction via radio frequency (RF) memory tags. A platform causes, at least in part, a capture of promotional information from a radio frequency memory tag associated with a merchant. The tags are placed at locations including a point-of-sales terminal, store entrance or near a poster to facilitate customer access. The platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of the promotional information to present one or more offers at a device, and receives an input for selecting at least one of the one or more offers for redemption. In response, the platform causes, at least in part, a validation of the redemption of at least one of the one or more offers. The platform then causes, at least in part, a presentation of the validation at the device for a confirmation by the merchant.
