Sept 25th Update:
MT3 3277 is now live, and the coupon should work on it, it will discount up to $120 worth of product ordered in a single transaction. Note, after you've used the coupon, it's gone, if you cancel your order, you don't get the coupon back (and we won't reset it for you), so make sure you know what you want when you place your order. The coupon expires Dec 31st, 2020. We're hoping to release 3 more MT3 sets in October/November, Black on White, White on Black, and Camillo. All three are subject to potential delays, i.e. no promises! Now that there is something concrete, I'll send an email to everyone who has the coupon to let the know that they can use it. Edit by Elbert: "Carmillo" typo fixed. It is indeed Camillo.
