I always wondered about getting coupons to work/be used that you have
on an electronic device (phone, iPad, tablet...). Don't know how
official this is, but it might be worth a try:

===
The coupon policy was updated a few weeks ago; accepting coupons off a
customer's cell phone or what have you is now official policy. I
honestly didn't know it wasn't written in the policy before that, we've
always done it.

If a cashier refuses to accept them ask a manager to check the recent
coupon policy update. Just because managers were supposed to inform
cashiers about it doesn't mean all of them did...

Found the blurb on this page while looking for a 20% off coupon that
would work online (no luck on the latter):

I wonder if the POS scanner will read a phone screen?

Doesn't have to be scanable, but with some phones and newer barcode
scan guns it actually will - the newest guns don't wait for the laser
to illuminate the code, it's there more for targeting purposes. If it
sees the right pattern as a light source it'll read it. Same way your
phone can read QR codes and other barcodes using the camera.

Otherwise they just type in the code number from the barcode.
