A data processing system issuing electronic certificates through “online” networks. Each electronic certificate includes transaction data and identification data, and can be printed out on a printing device linked to a consumer's personal input device, or electronically stored in a designated data base until a specified expiration date. Consumers access the data processing system online, browse among their choices, and make their selections. Certificate issuers have online access to the data processing system and can create or revise offers, and provide various instructions pertaining to the certificates, including limitations as to the number of certificates to be issued in total and to each individual consumer.

1. A method of distributing electronic certificates comprising: receiving, at a computer system comprising one or more computers, instructions for issuing electronic certificates from one or more certificate issuers, with the respective certificates associated with one or more products and/or services;establishing a communications link between the computer system and one or more remote devices communicatively coupled to one or more remote users;receiving, by the computer system, user data from the remote devices;enabling receipt of communications from one of the remote users operating at least one of the remote devices by the computer system over the communications link to access and select one or more offers for said electronic certificates using said user data;storing, using the one or more computers, certificate files in a database, the certificate files containing information relating to one or more of the electronic certificates offered to and selected by the one remote user; andprocessing, using the one or more computers, data for one or more of the selected certificates contained in the database, to cause discounts corresponding to one or more of the selected certificates to be automatically activated in response to purchase at a retail outlet of one or more products and/or services associated with said selected one or more certificates, where a card identifying an account associated with said one remote user and said retail outlet is presented with the purchase. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said card is associated with a particular store. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said card is a credit card. 4. The method of claim 1, comprising: receiving, at the computer system, user data that includes user demographics or behavioral patterns for a particular one of the remote users; andenabling, using the one or more computers, access by the particular remote user to one or more selective offers for electronic certificates based at least in part on the user demographics or behavioral patterns of the particular remote user. 5. The method of claim 1, comprising: receiving, at the computer system, user data that includes regional demographic data for a particular one of the remote users; andenabling, using the one or more computers access by the particular remote user to one or more selective offers for electronic certificates based at least in part on the regional demographic data for the particular remote user. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, at the one or more computers, data concerning electronic certificates automatically activated in response to purchase of one or more products and/or services associated with said selected one or more electronic certificates. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising identifying, in response to said received data, the one remote user who purchased said one or more products and/or services associated with said selected one or more electronic certificates. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, at the one or more computers, changes to said instructions for issuing electronic certificates from one or more certificate issuers. 9. A method of distributing electronic certificates, comprising: receiving, at a computer system comprising one or more computers, instructions for issuing electronic certificates from one or more certificate issuers, with the respective certificates associated with one or more products and/or services;establishing a communications link between the computer system and one or more remote devices communicatively coupled to one or more remote users;receiving, by the computer system, user data from the remote devices;enabling receipt of communications from one of the remote users operating at least one of the remote devices by the computer system over the communications link to access and select one or more offers for said electronic certificates using said user data including user demographics or behavioral patterns;storing, using the one or more computers, certificate files in a database, the certificate files containing information relating to one or more of the electronic certificates offered to and selected by the one remote user; andprocessing, using the one or more computers, data for one or more of the selected certificates contained in the database, to cause discounts corresponding to one or more of the selected certificates to be automatically activated in response to purchase at a retail outlet of one or more products and/or services associated with said selected one or more certificates, where a card identifying an account associated with said one remote user and said retail outlet is presented with the purchase. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising: receiving, at the one or more computers, data concerning electronic certificates automatically activated in response to purchase of one or more products and/or services associated with said selected one or more electronic certificates. 11. The method of claim 10 further comprising identifying, in response to said received data, the one remote user who purchased said one or more products and/or services associated with said selected one or more electronic certificates. 12. The method of claim 9, further comprising: receiving, at the one or more computers, changes to said instructions for issuing electronic certificates from one or more certificate issuers. 13. A system for distributing certificates comprising: a database storing certificate files containing information relating to redeemable coupons offered to and selected by remote users; anda computer system comprising one or more computers operably connected to the database,the one or more computers configured to receive instructions for issuing electronic certificates from one or more certificate issuers, with the respective certificates associated with one or more products and/or services;the one or more computers configured to establish a communications link between the computer system and one or more remote devices communicatively coupled to one or more remote users;the one or more computers configured to receive user data from the remote devices;the one or more computers configured to enable receipt of communications from one of the remote users operating at least one of the remote devices by the computer system over the communications link to access and select one or more offers for said electronic certificates using said user data;the one or more computers configured to store certificate files in the database, the certificate files containing information relating to one or more of the electronic certificates offered to and selected by the one remote user; andthe one or more computers configured to process data for one or more of the selected certificates contained in the database, to cause discounts corresponding to one or more of the selected certificates to be automatically activated in response to purchase at a retail outlet of one or more products and/or services associated with said selected one or more certificates, where a card identifying an account associated with said one remote user and said retail outlet is presented with the purchase. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein said card is associated with a particular store. 15. The system of claim 13, wherein said card is a credit card. 16.
