I have 5 coupons that are the same... just a different percentage off different categories... same level categories with nothing under them.

I have made the first coupon and disallowed all but that category... it works.

I have copied this coupon and changed only the one category to be allowed...

I get "not valid on item in your cart." I have verified that in fact the master category for item matches the allowed category on the coupon.

Why is this so inconsistant!?!
