<p>The invention involves using a visual verification pattern on a mobile device to redeem a coupon. A user installs a coupon presentation application on a user device and configures an account and downloads and stores coupons on the application. The user approaches a point of sale terminal at a merchant location to purchase a product. The user accesses the coupon and indicates to the coupon distribution system that distributed the coupon that a purchase is imminent and a verification of a coupon will be required. The system accesses the coupon visual verification pattern configured by the merchant and transmits the pattern to the application. The application displays the pattern on the mobile device display for presentation to the merchant. The merchant can recognize the visual verification pattern and enter the discount or rebate associated with the coupon into the terminal along with the purchase details.</p> |
