The 10-30 % "off of 1%" is still a frequent pain point (AC might designate $600 of a $700 fare as fuel surcharge and taxes, so coupon does not reduce by much). Granted, it affects economy class international flyers on bargain fares in higher proportions. The goodwill coupon codes have a value in the hundreds or thousands of dollars on other itineraries such as paid business routes that aren't on sale.
