Abstract
A system for processing a digital promotion may include a mobile wireless communications and a digital promotion server. The server may generate a digital promotion for a given product based upon a promotion request, and communicate the digital promotion to the mobile device based upon the promotion request. The server may cooperate with the mobile device to prompt the user for a user-provided identification code for redemption of the digital promotion at a redemption location, and determine whether the user-provided identification code is unique relative to other user-provided identification codes. When unique, the user-provided identification code may be stored for redemption of the digital promotion, otherwise a server-provided unique identification code may be generated and communicated to the mobile device. The server may cooperate with the redemption location to redeem the digital promotion based upon one of the user-provided identification code and the server-provided unique identification code.
