I've used coupons before and it's been awhile since I last used one. Has there been a change in how coupons are applied?

I remember coupons used as illustrated in this guide but when I tried purchasing earlier, no option to select the coupon appeared.

If you have a coupon in your inventory and you add that item to your basket for checkout, the coupon should be applied then.

Yes, from what I have used, yes, it happens automatically. Unless the item is on sale, then the sale price gets added instead.

Unless in some rare cases both coupon AND sale prices applies one after another. I bought Shadow Warrior like this. It was discounted by 75% and I got 75% coupon. Both applied. -93.75% ^_^

That is indeed a rare occasion and should be taken full advantage of.

It automatically adds the coupon if you have any. This is what it looks after i removed it.

Try to use this button from the inventory on the coupon.

It will show applicable game. Coupons usually doesn't apply to any kinds of bundles.

Aside from you trying to redeem the coupon for the wrong game I have not idea, but one thing is for certain I would not be wasting time here and would be contacting Steams official support before the coupon expires.

hehehe, if you had any experience with steam support, you'd know that they'd reply long after the coupon has expired. =(

Did they region locked the coupons too or disallowed using them in some way ?
This is what it should happen

Try trading that coupon with a friend from a region that is not locked and see if it works for him!

I guess this could be true. Some games have multiple IDs in the Steam. One for region-free versions and a couple of region-locked modifications. For example, I have two different versions of Borderlands 2 on my account. ROW ID is 49520 and RU ID is 217490. Coupons usually apply only to ROW versions of the game. Seems like a Steam bug since they either should have been removed coupons for region-locked games from the pool of randomly dropped coupons or make them support region-locked versions of the game.

Are you getting a bundle with it or just the base game? If it is a bundle or has other games or DLC with it, chances are coupons will not be allowed to be applied.

I believe steam is having a problem at the moment. I can't even purchase anything in the steam market. Maybe that's the problem why you can't use the coupons too. I haven't tried buying on the steam store itself atm just the steam market.
