Failing to communicate <i>any</i> important piece of information does no good to the relationship. Another important bit of information that merchants often fail to communicate to their affiliates when publishing/distributing a coupon is whether there are any restrictions (such as: one coupon per customer, or coupons cannot be combined with other promotions, etc) that affiliates (and people they market to) should be aware of. I certainly agree with you, Kunal.

I think it's better to inform them through an affiliate newsletter stating that the coupon is expiring and that their sites should be updated accordingly. I've just had this feedback from a lot of affiliate friends of mine talking about different affiliate programs.

I am asking, because affiliates should be made aware of the expiration date when the coupon is first announced. Are you talking about reminding affiliates about expiring coupons, Kunal?
