If the above is true, then the company should lower their prices, rather than run specials that tick off their full price membership.

Are you for serious?

Companies have run coupons and specials for years upon years. You have never seen a sale before? Are you ticked off at stores you shop in when they offer discounts?

Marketers and business professionals have been offering coupons for years for various reasons but I guess some members here know better.

You have never heard of a store needing to liquidate inventory from the previous year to make room for new stock?

Is it beyond your understanding that there are valid business reasons for offering discounted services and pricing?

It takes some blind hate and a lack of creativity and vision to dismiss any reason for coupons. We have a member here proclaiming they would rather destroy their product then discount it. That makes no sense to me.

Perhaps coupons don't fit some people's business model, but there are thousands of legitimate reasons to offer coupons. Hating on places that have found reasons to offer coupons is really strange.
