gowp / coupon-codes-display Goto Github PK

First: thanks for banging this code out. Found it on Reddit after Googing around for something that does this without charging $50/mo).

This is not so much a bug as it is probably a design consideration.

I was all excited to use this and had it installed on my WP site. Tests great (even wrote a blog post about it! - http://itshans.com/displaying-single-use-coupon-codes-site/#comment-1712).

Then, about 10 mins later I realized there could be a flaw. The whole idea of single-use codes is that they keep someone from cleaning out one's inventory by distributing a multi-use coupon code to their friends, blogs, etc.

If a visitor refreshes the page delivering the code using Coupon-Codes-Display, they could effectively clean out all of one's single-use codes, which is effectively the same as giving them a multi-use code.

Is there some way to implement this so that this ability would be blocked?
