"20% off any special companion" coupon is not always working with Siege Master companion

Sometimes, the "20% off any special companion" can be applied to the new Siege Master companion (bringing the cost down to 960Z) and sometimes it does not. I was able to use the coupon once then the next coupon I got, it no longer showed up on the dropdown as an available coupon for the Siege Master.

Oddly I've noticed this myself; I think it was a typo on the Item's actual name. 1 of the "20% off any special companion" coupons actually give you 20% off of bags in the zen store. I double clicked it this morning and it sent me to the bag section.

Similarly; yesterday I recieved one of these, and the coupon actually only gave me 20% off of specific special companions rather than the newer ones that were added recently. I'm guessing this has to do with an issue in categorizing the new companions on the zen store as well as conflicts arising between newer coupons that are being released.

Edit:

Regarding the 20% coupon I viewed yesterday; It appears that it is supposed to target the controller category; and thus, supposed to be titled "20% off any controller companion". So it appears that, so far, the single coupon title is shared by 3 seperate coupons; the other being "20% off of any bag".

Yep. Double-clicking the "20% off any special companion" coupon sometimes opens up to the bags section and sometimes opens the companions section but only a few of the other companions have the "coupon" banner on them to indicate they are eligible for the coupon but the Siege Master does not.

Edit: Companion-related coupons are broken since the Zen Store reorganization. The "All Companions" coupon doesn't apply to the Strikers category. The category-specific coupons (Special, Beast, etc.) don't work at all, because those categories no longer exist. This was reported in another thread.

It's not the coupon. Bags are currently on sale. (link)

Last time I double-clicked the "special" companions coupon, it showed all the controllers. Something seems very borked about it.

Coupons in general are probably well overdue for an overhaul. Dye and fashion were completely removed. The beast companion one was removed instead of reworked. Special companions works in unpredictable ways. Numerous store categories can only be coupon'd using the ultra-rare "anything" discount. I think it's time to add some new ones to the mix, since we've lost so many due to the store re-org and tradebar changes.
