eCoupons are electronic coupons that attach to your store card or your phone number. With most eCoupons, you must load them on to your store card or phone number using the internet before you head to the store. When you are at the store, you scan your store card or give your phone number at the store and the coupon amount is automatically deducted from your bill.
Mary shops at Kroger which has eCoupons. Before going to the store, she logs onto Cellfire.com and loads a coupon for $1/1 Pillsbury Frosting on her Kroger Rewards card. She then goes to Kroger and brings the Pillsbury frosting to the register. The cashier scans the frosting (it’s $2) and then asks for her Kroger Rewards card. When the cashier scans the card, the $1 eCoupon is applied to her bill making her grand total just $1. The coupon has now been used and she can not use it again.
