    Default Coupons don't expire correctly (1.3.7)

    One more coupon question:

    In our 1.3.7 Coupon Admin, everything works but expiration dates. When we change an expiration date so it precedes the current date, the discount code can still be redeemed. Only way we're able to render a coupon code inactive is to "delete" it.

    Is this intentional? Or is it unique to our installation? Or is it a bug?

    No luck finding the answer among existing posts.

    Thanks in advance.
    Sean

    Default Re: Coupons don't expire

    v1.3.7 has an awful lot of bugs and issues ...

    What happens if you set up a test site in a test directory with a test database and make some test coupons and test orders with v1.3.8 ... does this fix things for you?

    Thanks Linda!

    I finally made time to test this in a 1.3.8 store.

    Results:
    • Coupons whose Expires date precedes (or equals) the current date still appear as Status "Y" in the admin -- weird, but no big deal
    • When I try to redeem during checkout, the "coupon has expired" text appears. Woohoo!
    • Expired coupon discount is not applied, as one would hope


    No idea whether others using 1.3.7 have the non-expiring coupon problem, but I will emphatically recommend a 1.3.8 upgrade during my next chat with the store owner.
