It has been repeated across multiple threads but CheapElite can show you the other threads when he signs in. The 10% dicount only applies to the fare (excluding the tax and fees and any other surcharges). So for example, if you MSP-BKK return fare was 1000$ + (tax, fees, other surcharges) then applying the coupon makes the fare to be 900$+(tax,fees, other surcharges). Hope this answers your question. On another note, you should edit your post to delete the coupon code as it is one time use only and you don't want to lose your code if you are planning on using it. Good luck!
