Why is there no special offer currently on lulu's front page, or a section to verify them?

I have just received this in my email:

"2 site-wide sales - use them to make a purchase or to help promote or finish your book.

"Enter coupon code TANGOUK305 at checkout and receive 15% off your order. The maximum savings for this offer is £200. Enter coupon code DANCEUK305 at checkout and receive 20% off your order of £200 or more. The maximum savings for this offer is £400. Sorry, but these offers are only valid in Pounds and cannot be applied to previous orders. You can only use these codes once per account, and unfortunately you can't use these coupons in combination with other coupon codes. These great offers expire on 7 October 2011 at 11:59 PM, so don't miss out! While very unlikely, we do reserve the right to change or revoke this offer at anytime, and of course we cannot offer this coupon where it is against the law to do so."

All well and good, and normally there's a banner replicating this info on the lulu page - but not this time?

ALSO - while it says this offer only applies to Pounds, will it work with customers outside the UK who pay in Pounds using Paypal?

Thank you.

Try it.

You don't have to complete the order.

Ken, that's not my point. I didn't assume it was a false offer, just why it isn't it on the front page?

The special offer area has only ever seemed to be plonked on the front page, or you'd see it displayed once you log out, and it used to have the numbers 1 2 3 4 with it, indicating you could look through different offers, yet those numbers never actually brought anything up. I assume the old version was broken and something new is being arranged?

ALSO - can American customers use the offer if they pay in pounds through Paypal? These special offers usually help me shift some copies, but some people are put off by the pounds element.

Sorry Mick I'm missing your point.
My suggestion was that by making a dummy order tou can teats how it and wherwe it works.

As for on the Front page or not - many offers are not global but are to particular mailing lists and groups of customers.
