I got 2 coupons. Each coupon may only be used once. It is not decremented like a gift card or they could have just sent one. I imagine they call it a coupon on purpose so people will not be surprised if it had to be surrendered like any other clip out coupon.

It makes sense so sneaky ... erm ... clever customers and scammers don't use it more than once and sell them.

Does anyone know if the store gets some kind of federal subsidy? That would be another reason the store would need the coupon as proof of being sold. As a taxpayer I wouldn't want to be ripped off by scammers.

[Update: I got 2 Zeniths from Radio Shack today and they returned both my cards.]
