<p>The present invention relates to a coupon processing system and method that includes a scanner and a voider, where the system enables a user to process coupons at or near a coupon redemption location. The system scans codes on coupons using one or more scanners. The codes on the coupons are transferred to a processor and the processor determines if each coupon was scanned properly. If the coupon is not scanned properly, the coupon is separated into a non-scan coupon group. If the coupon is successfully scanned, the coupon is transferred to a voider which voids the coupon to prevent mal-redemption and re-circulation of the coupons. The non-scan coupons are sent to another location for further processing. The scanned coupons are stored in a secure area at the coupon redemption location or at a secure off-site storage area.</p> |
