The refund may be paid by cash, by check, by debit card, through electronic funds transfer to a bank account, or through an internet or mobile payment account.
(b) A manufacturer or supplier shall not issue coupons that make any alcoholic liquor free.
(c) A manufacturer or supplier may issue coupons that can be applied to more than 1 specific product sold by that manufacturer or supplier but must state the manufacturer or supplier to which they apply.
(d) A manufacturer or supplier shall issue coupons that require the retail customer to purchase at least 1 product of alcoholic liquor to redeem a coupon. A manufacturer or supplier may issue coupons that require the retail customer to purchase 2 or more alcoholic liquor products from the same manufacturer or supplier to redeem the coupon.
(e) A manufacturer or supplier may issue coupons that require
