The mobile device may acquire a product identifier image for a given product having an incentive associated therewith and communicate the product identifier image to the promotions server using a short message service short code. The mobile device may also communicate a geographic location and the device ID to the promotions server. The promotions server may assign the incentive to a digital wallet for the purchaser based upon the product identifier image and redeem the incentive based upon the geographic location of the mobile device.
