I wonder which is correct or better, 'coupon' or 'voucher'. Or do the two words mean the same thing in this case? Thank you. Itasan Joined on Wed, May 11 2005 Japan Full Member 402

In AmE (or in my mind, at least) a coupon is more often a small certificate of potential discount rather than evidence of monies paid. I therefore highly recommend 'voucher' here. Others may demur.
