Yes, the problem of delayed coupons (just as the problem of lack of advance notices, by the way) is very common, as you've pointed out. It is also good for a merchant to have a dynamic coupon at all times -- one that they would refresh/renew as soon as the previous one expires, and do this on their end only, and in such a way that it self-updates on the affiliate side. Eric, thank you for chiming in, and glad you liked the post.

As a coupon affiliate, what gets me is when merchants have monthly coupons, but wait until the 2nd or 3rd of the month to release that month's coupons - that's 1-3 days where I don't have anything to give the user, and they leave disappointed. If I had an exclusive and put a rolling expiration date on it (so I show the coupon expires in 2 days, although it really never expires) it makes my site more user-friendly and the merchant captures those sales the first few days of the month.
