Well, I cannot predict the future, and I doubt the Marketers at Apple can either. 

So, (future prognostication here) they decide to end the .1 cent per box coupon install. And, in the future, they decide to dust off the old send in your coupon and get money off deal. 

"OOPS! James Asherman told us to kill that coupon program cause he was sick of seeing coupons he thought we would never use, oh well, he's been paying every year anyway, he'll pay this time too."
