5 A method of authorizing the redemption of an electronic voucher is described using a standards compliant top up or EFTPOS terminal. The method includes the steps of providing a cash value voucher comprising an alphanumeric string and a cash value, entering the alphanumeric string at the top up terminal, wherein the voucher is validated by the host system, and the host system determines whether the Voucher 10 Number is valid and or whether the Voucher Number has been used before or whether is has any "balance of uses" left against it. The host system generates an invalid redemption message or the host system generates a valid redemption message, which is a concatenated alphanumeric string comprising a further alphanumeric string and the cash value stored in the host system database. |
