Verizon offers free digital coupon service

Basking Ridge, N.J. Verizon announced that it is offering a free digital coupon service for its wireless and Fios TV customers that can help them save money on their next trip to the grocery store.

Verizon’s Spend SmartSM coupons, powered by Cellfire, eliminate the hassle of clipping and collecting paper coupons by giving users instant access to coupons via their wireless phones, TVs or computers.

Verizon’s Spend Smart coupons cover a wide range of products on customers’ shopping lists and can be used at more than 4,000 locations of more than 20 grocery chains nationwide, including ShopRite, Safeway and Kroger. Coupon brands and products rotate every two weeks, with more than $25 in monthly grocery discounts available at any given time.

To register, customers need to provide their shoppers club or loyalty club numbers from participating grocery stores, then will be able to view, save and use the coupons that are currently available for that retailer. If they have an item with an associated coupon in their cart, the discount is automatically applied to their bill.

“Participating with Spend Smart gives us another way to provide our customers with the value and service ShopRite is known for,” said Joe Sheridan, executive VP Wakefern Food Corp. “The convenience of receiving coupons on a mobile device and linking them directly to our ShopRite Price Plus Club Card is a win-win for all of us.”
