Can discounts apply to pre-orders and subscribers during a bank holiday?

Topic summary

Bank holiday discount promotion aimed exclusively at subscribers (existing and new). The poster considers using a pop-up to capture new subscribers and a promotional email for existing subscribers.

Key question: Will the discount apply to pre-orders made via the Purple Dot app if the discount code expires before the pre-ordered item ships? The timing/validity of discount codes relative to pre-order fulfillment is unclear.

Context: Purple Dot is a third-party pre-order app; the poster wants to ensure discount eligibility for pre-orders despite code expiration.

Decisions/outcomes: None yet. No confirmations on the best channel strategy (pop-up vs. email) or discount behavior on pre-orders.

Status: Unresolved and awaiting guidance. No attachments or media referenced.

Hi everyone, I want to offer a discount promotion for this coming bank holiday but only want it to apply to existing and new subscribers. Is it best to offer it in a pop up for new subscribers and then send a promotional email to existing ones? Also, I use purple dot for pre-orders, does anyone know if the disount will apply if they pre-order too, even though the discount code will have ran out by the time the pre-order arrives?
