A system for providing multiple level, price-per-unit (PPU) discounts on gasoline to a customer who purchases at least one cross-marketed product. A point of sale (POS) terminal awards the customer a first PPU discount on the gasoline based on a purchase by the customer of a first cross-marketed product, and awards the customer a second PPU discount based on the purchase of a second cross-marketed product. A database controller then adds the first discount to the second discount to determine a total PPU discount, and the POS terminal prints a paper receipt for the customer with a customer identification and a transaction identification encoded in a bar code thereon. The total discount is stored in a discounts issued database. The customer then scans the encoded bar code with a bar code scanner at a gasoline dispenser to redeem the discount. The database controller retrieves the total discount from the discounts issued database, and the gasoline station then reduces the price-per-unit-volume of the gasoline by an amount equal to the total discount. When the customer completes the gasoline purchase, a value of the total discount redeemed is determined and stored in a discounts redeemed database. A clearing house then allocates portions of the discount redeemed to vendors of the first and second cross-marketed products according to predetermined criteria.
