Is this thruthfully why we're doing this, though? I mean, it's a really
nice side-effect, but I thought we did it solely to shift the cash flow
in order to secure the finances when we need them the most (point 2 in
your list).

If we determine the full ruleset in advance, it shouldn't be a problem.
But I do foresee major problems if we don't have these answers at the
very beginning of the coupon sales.

Having both coupons and vouchers sounds very complicated. I'm assuming
the coupons themselves have codes that can be used.

Without going into the specifics of the timeline, I like the idea of
having an exclusive first phase for those who bought a coupon.
