A system for displaying and redeeming electronic discount coupons in a store. The system includes a "smart card" (315), product stations adjacent to selected products in the store, a display kiosk (1710), and a checkout station in the checkout area. The customer may come to the store with the card loaded with electronic coupons. At any time, the customer (310) may insert the card (315) in a display kiosk (1710) to view the coupons stored on the card. The display kiosk both displays a video image for each coupon on the card or prints a shopping list (1719) for items in the store corresponding to coupons on the card. Upon completion of shopping, the customer redeems the electronic coupons at the checkout area, by inserting the card into the checkout station. During checkout, when UPC data matches coupons stored on the card, the customer is credited with the value of the corresponding coupon.
