Abstract
A system for processing a digital promotion may include a user device associated with a given user and a digital promotion processing server. The digital promotion processing server may include a processor and a memory cooperating therewith to, upon return of a purchased product associated with the given user, determine whether an initial digital promotion was applied to the purchased product, and if so, determine whether the initial digital promotion has expired. When the initial digital promotion has not expired, the processor may generate a first replacement digital promotion having a first promotional value associated therewith, and communicate the first replacement digital promotion to the user device. When the initial digital promotion has expired, the processor may generate a second replacement digital promotion having a second promotional value associated therewith that is less than the first promotional value, and communicate the second replacement digital promotion to the user device.
