Abstract
A system for processing a digital promotion may include a mobile wireless communications device associated with a user and configured to operate a ride-sharing application and a digital promotion server. The digital promotion server may be configured to determine a geographic destination of the user based upon the ride-sharing application and generate a digital promotion for redemption at a redemption location associated with the geographic destination and communicate the digital promotion to the mobile wireless communications device. The digital promotions server may also be configured to cooperate with the mobile wireless communications device to prompt the user to accept the digital promotion, and upon acceptance, generate a user identifier associated with the user and the digital promotion and communicate the user identifier to the redemption location for redemption of the digital promotion.
