There are challenges of redeeming the mobile coupons and also being able to deliver them in large numbers. Permission is required from the phone user for the coupon’s to be delivered to the phone unlike in emails where they are sent as junk mail.

Another challenge is when the consumer abuses the redemption of the coupon where they use it more than once. If a scanner of the barcode is not used it will happen as many times. This no problem for the coupons on paper but they also have their challenge of counterfeits.

Promotion is the target of the coupons and will do no harm to it if the consumers abuse the redemption policy as they will have purchased more than one item of the product.
