What's the difference between Claiming, Redeeming and Validating?

Claiming

Redeeming

When a consumer presents the claimed coupon at the point of sale to make use of the offer, that's called redeeming.
Redeeming is a term that relates to the point of view of the consumer.

Validating

When a coupon is exchanged at and processed through the point of sale, that's called validating. After validation the coupon cannot be used again.
Validating is a term that relates to the point of view of the vendor.
