As a developer – the problem with issuing a generic discount code (not tied to specific accounts) that are not usage limited (E.G. only X number of uses grant the discount) is that it can be easily abused – such as someone posting it in a public forum.
And when that happens you’re pretty much SOL.

Granted in spite of multiple safeguards mistakes & glitches can still happen but having the same kind of major snafu happen more than once is a big flag that you have problems with your business operation and that you need to fix things on your end to prevent future damage and income loss.
