Redeemer is ExpressionEngine module for managing coupon codes.

Redeemer is the first ExpressionEngine module for managing coupon codes. You can create them from the control panel, and even let users create their own codes based on an action they perform. On Twitter I mentioned I was building this and I got a couple of responses along the lines of “why don’t you just use EE’s built in Weblog to create coupons?” I could have done this, and thought about it, but you can only create a basic coupon code system with EE’s built in features. You won’t be able to easily, if at all, manage the number of times a coupon can be redeemed before it is invalid, limit by the user’s IP address, or member ID. You also won’t be able to generate new codes in the templates, and creating randomized codes would still require an extension or plug-in.

You can use the template tags with Ajax calls to validate a code without a page refresh, but if you use the URL Redirect feature will not work if you’re calling the exp:redeemer:validate method in an Ajax call for obvious reasons.
