Providing a discount code for an iOS in-app-purchase

Tags:

ios

So I know that there are no promo codes for in-app-purchases in iOS. What I am wondering, is will Apple reject this mechanism:

  1. Provide two in-app purchases, one at full price, say $9.99 and one at discount price say $7.99 (for the same thing)

  2. When you click on the $7.99 one, you are first asked to input a coupon code to be allowed to use the discount price. This discount code would have been found elsewhere - bloggers giving it away, coupon sites, etc.

Thoughts?

I believe your proposed method would work because a) you are not linking to an outside site to purchase the product (i.e., you are still using the App Store iAP method) and b) there are other programs that use similar features (e.g., entering in your OpenFeint username to enable that service).

Good luck!
