Super saver Michael R. scores a "submitter is TRWTF" award. The message actually says that Michael had a zero percent success rate at using coupons, which, presumably, is correct.
So Lyle (er, Lyle Seaman, not the other Lyle) also up for an award, "article writer is also TRWTF".

The last one reminds me of an incident about 25 years ago with a HP printer that decided to spit out a load of blank pages. I was too young at the time to have a proper grasp of "hard versus soft G", so "ggggggggggggggg" is exactly how I would have written the sound of a blank page being churned out!

No, in fact I did NOT use Coupert at the checkout and after the purchase this message came up. It is ARWTF.

The message may be correct, but it's horribly stupid.
What is a "success rate" of using coupons? It's not a competition. What does it help telling the customer how much they failed in using coupons? "You loser have a zero success rate in our coupon usage championship. You're out, drop dead!"

The proper pronunciation for FAQ is "fah-cue", because they almost always fail to answer the actual questions you have.
So you go to some site for help and get nothing but FAQ. ;)

I believe it's saying, "I have 6 coupons in my database for this site, but you did not try to use any of them. However, when I tested these coupons, none of them are valid anymore."
