I see reference that it's illegal to post them here. What are they and why are they of value?
Thanks.

Coupon codes are identification numbers printed on a vendor's coupon that identify the specific offer or program. Issuers use them to restrict their use to the marketing group for whom they are intended.
Use by others who copy the codes or the coupons, but are not within the intended marketing group, is fraudulant. We banned them because members were posting these codes, and hundreds of others would use them to get discounts to which they were not entitled. Yet others would post ways to use multiple codes (coupon stacking) that the issuer never intended to allow. We will not allow our forums to be used to distribute such information.
