Benefits for Authorized Partners
The Coupon Bureau provides a centralized platform that allows for the creation and management of single-use, serialized AI (8112) coupons. Use our API's to build 8112 coupons inside your application, or use our dashboard for ease of use and convenience.


The use of the new 8112 Databar through The Coupon Bureau platform is just what our Coupon Industry needed to all but eliminate the fraud issues we have been experiencing over the past years. The personalization, using a unique databar on each coupon and immediately “canceling” that coupon after the scan at the register, should enhance the use of digital and printed coupons for all manufacturers.

Serialized, Single Use
Universal Single Use Coupons are serialized at the time of distribution, which allows manufacturers and providers to ensure that each coupon is only used once

Realtime Redemption Data
Transaction data related to coupon issuance and redemption are available to authorized stakeholders in realtime. Manufacturers can see where and when their coupons were redeemed, allowing for more efficient and effective campaign management

Centralized Authorization
Neutral Universal Positive Offer File connecting the retail landscape creates a platform for innovation grounded in interoperable standards

GTIN Validation
GTIN validation allows manufacturers to ensure the coupon is redeemed for the intended purchase requirements. More accurate than the current family code process, manufacturers will see more effective campaign results

Ecosystem Connectivity
For authorized partners, this will enable universal single-use mobile delivery and redemption for manufacturer distributed coupons. Having a standardized, industry-wide process for real-time authorization of single-use coupons is an important advancement in order to support security and fraud mitigation.
