The coupons when sent to me actually had some weeks of their validity already past.

It happened to me and it has happened to several that I know just recently. When enquiring when they thought it would expire, those that knew there was expiration thought the expiration was in February 2009. I contacted the NTIA through their website hoping for a reason for the short explanation and to see if they would consider allowing me to get replacement coupons or extend the expiration. I've yet to hear from anyone. Dan
