Can you use wildcard characters when creating coupon codes?

In other words, if I have a whole bunch of coupons that start with CPC-WDS but are then numbered (CPC-WDS101, CPC-WDS102, etc.) can I use wildcard characters so that I don't have to type out each and every coupon?

These are handed out on individual cards, so I'm not worried about abuse of people guessing the numbers. Either they know about the coupon code, or they won't.

No, coupon codes cannot be redeemed if there is no exact match for them in the coupons database.
