You can choose to add this action to your Competitions or Rewards to allow users to redeem a coupon after engaging in other action types. When a user unlocks the Coupon action, the coupon code will be revealed.

This action is especially useful for creating tiered Rewards or incentivising the completion of additional Competition entries.

Remember, Coupons are not an entry method, so no entries will be awarded for unlocking a Coupon.
