Each electronic coupon in the database is associated with a sponsor's account and can be used to receive a discount on a purchase from a merchant, where the discount is debited from the sponsor's account and credited to the merchant's. From the database, the kiosk retrieves a rendering image corresponding to the rendering capabilities of the kiosk and a memory location to store the discount information, and the discount information. The discount information includes identifiers for the sponsor's account, the discount amount, and the purchase eligible for the discount.
