Is a 'univeral' discount code possible

Hi all!

I have the following problem. Our business is taking part in a loyalty program in conjunction with the local newspaper. All readers have been issued with a card. Each card has an individual number. Obviously I do not know every number. Within the program we are giving a 10% discount.

I need something like a 'dummy' discount code, like ************ that I give in the coupon manager which accepts all 10 digit numbers and gives a 10% discount code on them. Is this possible? (or do you have another idea?)

Registration does not require approval in the shop, as this would stop a lot of people from making spur of the moment purchases (so I could not give the registree a permanent 10% discount).

All ideas very welcome.
Thank you in advance for any help you are able to give.

You could do this by writing a ton of code, or you could just tell people the coupon for the loyalty program is "SAVETEN", and create this coupon in the admin panel. I would recommend the latter, unless of course you're made of money in which case you should contact me immediately to discuss the former. :)

I wish:laugh:
Problem is, I don't have any contact whatsoever with the new customer until I get his order, so the order has already been processed (with no discount).
So there is no DN . solution. Rats. May have to do a kind of pre-registration for the readers. Like a 'contact me before you place your order for your unique discount code'.
Still thinking on this one.
Thanks for your input!

Local newspaper and multiple 10 digit codes ...

Are you doing flyers with unique codes on each flyer or a printed ad in the paper with 1 10 digit code in the ad in all papers??
