Bricklink has this sorta form-email "Coupon Message" that it sends whenever you
give out a coupon. I've gone and customized that email message to my liking.

I am officially requesting that Bricklink add a coupon Macro Tag that would
allow me to highlight how long the coupon is good for
... perhaps to show
an expiration date, or even just the number of days until expiration.

While most of the time I'm issuing a coupon good for a few weeks/months (and
my email template says so), I'd like to be able to throw out occasional short-term
coupons - perhaps only lasting 5-7 days. I wouldn't want someone to receive
the email, and think they've got oodles of time, only to find the coupon
expired when they go to use it. And without such a tag, there is zero information
in the email message about expiration.

I know the expiration date can be seen in Bricklink, but people are lazy (I sometimes
am) and probably aren't going to go look for that info right away. Instead,
if someone gets this coupon email, I'd like the expiration date to be prominently
displayed (if I so choose, using this tag I'm requesting here).


Please support my request for this feature. Thanks!

P.S. I'm already using the CouponNote field to better describe why they are
getting the coupon (i.e. "Valued Customer" or "Give us a try" or "Limited Offer",
etc). So I cannot overload the use of this with the expiration date/days I seek.
