ACP Unveils New Name:
Association for Coupons & Promotions
New name reflects growing portfolio of expertise for the ACP
The Association of Coupon Professionals (ACP) has changed its name to Association for Coupons & Promotions to better reflect its newly expanded core competencies.
Long known for its focus on traditional paper, load to card programs, and universal coupons – both digital and paper – ACP is now providing this same level of promotional governance to other promotional solution types including, point-of-sale (POS) receipt and rewards programs, payment card programs, digital and paper rebate programs and more.
Universal Coupons
To mitigate fraud, simplify consumer experience and reduce settlement time- the industry has established a new coupon format, AI (8112) or “Universal Coupons” to replace the current AI (8110) coupon type. The Coupon Bureau is an industry-managed, Nonprofit that is the facilitator of the Universal Coupon ecosystem. For retailers this new standard is groundbreaking… No more counterfeit coupons, no more waiting weeks for settlement and with 3rd Party validation- no longer are your cashiers in the hotseat with shoppers.

Great opportunity to discuss issues/concerns with my peers + vendors. Like the small format + enough breaks to accommodate networking.
This is a great seminar for those new in the industry and a nice refresher for those with more experience. I’m walking away with a lot of information to share with my marketing and sales teams. Isn’t every day I attend a class or seminar that I can go back and apply the learning’s.
As a first time attendee and member, I really enjoyed the entire conference and the networking. The hotel and services were great.
I appreciate the opportunity to discuss industry topics as a group and learn from my peers. I feel like we are truly working together and can bring about positive change as a team.
