First, the barcodes on GripOffs are able to be read by some scanners, but the code itself can be read, manually, if necessary until the retailers get up to speed. The 2D codes referred to currently in use are about the most basic that are available. We are way behind the technology in the US. Second comment: In the article it is pointed out that "Juniper Research defines a mobile coupon as 'a coupon sent and stored on a mobile phone that can be exchanged for a rebate, a financial discount etc. at a retailer when the consumer purchases a product.' When compared to their paper cousins, mobile coupons offer a number of distinct advantages allowing the coupon issuer a direct connection between themselves and the consumer using the coupon." Our system does, indeed, offer a mobile coupon(s) (digital & paperless), but they are not "sent and stored on a mobile phone . . . " thus not meeting Jupiter's limited definition, so we would kindly suggest that in their future definition and future studies they include mobile digital coupons that are accessed from a central mobile site as mobile coupons as well.
