I order a couple of times a month from [Half.com](http://Half.com).

I have never received a coupon in the three years I’ve been doing business with them. I have tried to refer a friend, but to no avail.

Just Curious.

My parents get them all the time and give them to me. The thing is, usually you can only use one coupon per account during a certain time period.

How do they get them? Is it for bigger ticket items?
