Peel-off coupon redemption card

Abstract

A peel-off coupon redemption card includes a plurality of coupons releasably adhered to a base with a release liner. The release liner is composed of a material, such as a dry release adhesive or evaporative adhesive, such that when a coupon is removed from the base substantially no effective adhesive remains on the removed coupon. Each coupon preferably includes promotion indicia and an electronic redemption indicia. The electronic redemption indicia is preferably printed on a face of the coupon facing the base so that each coupon can be electronically redeemed while having sufficient space for the promotion indicia on the opposite face of the coupon.
