This Symbology is also known as European Article Number 99, EAN-99 Supplement 5/Five-digit Add-On, EAN-99 Supplement 2/Two-digit Add-On, EAN-99+5, EAN-99+2, EAN99, EAN99+5, EAN99+2, GTIN-99, GS1-99, Coupon Barcode

EAN-99 is a special form of the EAN-13, which just starts with "99". EAN 99 is used as an in-store coupon. These are coupons which are good only at that particular store and are actually distributed in the store in which they will be honored. Instead of a UPC code with a number system character of 5, an EAN code is used with a "country code" of 99.
