Comment on Why "Coupon Code" Should Not be a Field on Your Payment Form

Comments

I use NameCheap and they have this field. There's also http://www.namecheapcoupons.com/ though, which is very findable.

... which gives me an idea - when you hit a coupon code box, you feel the need to supply a coupon, and once you've found one everything's ok again. So what if the company makes it simple to find coupons for small amounts, say 5%, but has other discount codes as well (for 20%) that it uses. Once you find the 5% one you stop searching, and you're also happy because you've got yourself a discount. Meanwhile the company still has a way of offering deeper discounts when needed

I've done this at http://blog.frogmorecs.com/post/7190338563/print-distributor... to try and get ahead of the coupon spam. In the long term I am going to switch to coupon links and drop the field
