The interesting thing is, I selected the link, a page loaded in my
browser, then I get a popup saying that the coupon has been sent to my
default printer.
So, they printed something to my printer without me requesting to do so.
A new kind of spam??
The interesting thing is that apparently this is done via flash, as a
note at the bottom of the page says that it is required to download your
coupon.
Further note, if I reload the page, I get a second coupon printed. Of
course it has a bar code, thus I suspect it'll only work once.

Until later, Geoffrey
