So I recently made an account at Books on Board, and they sent me a 27% off coupon for signing up. I assume everyone gets this coupon when they sign up, so most people know what I'm talking about.

When I went to use it though, it gave me something like a 60% discount. My original total was $55.51, after the coupon code it went down to $20.88. So what's the deal with that? Not that I'm complaining, but it seems like a hell of a deal.

I also noticed that you can use the coupon more than once, so you could use it for multiple purchases. It does expire, but if you have access to dummy email accounts, you could conceivably sign up for unlimited accounts at BoB and get new coupons for 27% (read: 60%) off indefinitely.
