This issue is being confused a lot with the newer coupon issue because the error says that there was a problem with the coupon but in actuality it is the credit card/coupon combination. If you use another credit card, the coupon should work fine.
Last thing before I go, here's a really good trick: If you have a Bank of America Visa card you can use the ShopSafe feature to generate a new credit card number on the fly. If you do this you will NEVER, I repeat NEVER experience the error you described. Just generate a brand new credit card number every time and voliah! Hope that helps some people here. I know the same issue has driven me a crazy on a couple of occasions.
Except the current issue is you can NOT apply the coupon online - you get an error message of the coupon code is invalid BEFORE you can even input a credit card!
Once you call in, then I assume you would need to use different card number for each coupon you redeem.
This inability to use coupon online even for very legitimate, long-obtained coupons way in the past, is extremely annoying. I am afraid Expedia has succeeded to drive me away from trying to find a BRG match of its offering. Instead I would try to find a Marriott LNF instead!
