  • Each discount coupon has a clearly published start date and expiration date:
  • The discount cannot be applied to purchases that happened before the coupon start date.
  • The discount cannot be applied to purchases that happened on/after the coupon expiration date.
  • Customers who purchase a product for which a discount coupon is active on the day of the purchase have three (3) days to write to support and ask to receive the discount.
