Abstract
An omni-channel coupon system may link electronic coupons across several couponing channels by storing the electronic coupons in association with a user profile or loyalty account. A user may clip electronic coupons from several couponing channels, such as a mobile application, retail web page, social networking web page, email, short message service (SMS) message, a physical coupon, a manufacturer/third-party web page or other affiliated web page, a manufacturer/third-party application, etc. Each clipped electronic coupon may be stored with a user profile for the user.
