My only guess....they are getting a listing of all coupon codes issued by the website and cross-referencing those with the orders placed. This is the only thing that makes sense. Because, if they just ran a query that said, show me all giftcard orders for > $100 where a coupon was used, they should be able to hit it all. Using my theorized method seems prone to failure at several points.

I also can't understand how they keep getting caught with their pants down. Why are they releasing coupons before properly coding exclusions? They have fixed them now (as they have in the past) so why don't they just do it before?

Oh well...I won't look a gift horse in the mouth, as 58 is almost as good as 60. I'm afraid this may indeed be the last go around at this. Will have to wait a week or so to see if they actually restock these cards.

I've put 6 orders and already got cancellations for 3-4 of them. But it does not mean that the other 2 got shipped. Probably will be cancelled later on.
