The ability for users to input a discount /coupon code would be clutch. Great work on the module. High quality stuff. Thanks!

Was just thinking about this myself. I'd really like to be able to sell gift cards for access to my site (teaching website). the gift card would have a random coupon. This module almost does this:
http://drupal.org/project/regcode
but it is not able to assign a specific role. The nice think about the above module (check it out and poke around) is that it can auto create a bunch of randomly generated registration codes.
So, for example... It'd be nice if someone got a gift card with the code on it and it was say for a 3 month subscription. The person signs up for their account and puts in the gift card code. It then gives them access for 3 months, after which they are prompted to upgrade to continue their subscription. something like that...
The other modules I've been looking at are "registration keys" and "registration role" fyi.
I just checked and the paypal gift certificates can not apply towards subscriptions - so that idea is nixed.
I think that the Gift Certificate would be great also. I was trying to figure out how someone could buy a three month subscription as present (Christmas, Birthday, etc.) and have the three months start on a certain date. This could provide some outstanding marketing opportunities if possible. Since PalPay doesn't allow a start date, I'm not quite sure how to do it.
I agree that this feature is needed. I will bump this up on the list of features to be added.

Hey Leighton,
Tomorrow being Cyber Monday, I am wanting to market gift certificates to my teaching site. I see that you have done some nice work on the coupons but nothing that provides a true gift certificate experience. Here's a site that does it well in concept:

Wondering where you are at with this as you mentioned this being on the roadmap over a year ago.
Thanks.
I've had a few forays into the gift card ideas, and made some modules for some clients, but nothing that is ready for release yet. I haven't found time to make it be universally applicable, rather than just catered to a certain client's needs.
That being said, I do plan to do some work on a gift membership module fairly soon, within the next week or two.
Sincerely,
Leighton Whiting

I really like this idea, I will give it some thought and put it on the feature request list. Thanks for sharing^^
