A coupon database system (100) for offering, redeeming and tracking redemption of coupons (120), (122), (124), (126). The coupon database includes customer identification codes, offer codes, redemption codes and symbolic identification codes. The customer identification codes identify customer entities that are eligible to use the coupons and preferably are based on permanent computer identification codes (e.g. CPU serial number, BIOS serial number). The offer codes identify coupon offers and the redemption codes identify specific instances of redemption by customer entities. The symbolic identification codes correspond to a customer perceivable display associated with at least one, some, or all, of the coupon offers in the coupon database system.
