[ic] Discounting Scheme

Dear IC List,

I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to implement this discounting
scheme:

I have users who are "members" based on a database field
"member_expire_date" being today or any day in the future.  I'd like to
offer special promo's that give a discount on 1 product to current "members"
only.

I already have quantity discounts, qty. discount groups, etc. setup on
several products.  I figured I could hand-code each promo like this:

[if [is_a_member_user_tag]]
[discount SKU001]3.00[/discount]
[/if]

but that would be a little on the painful side when more and different
products get promo'd this way.

Another thought was to have a discount coupon code that only members would
receive in their email box.  Would this be possible to implement?

Any other suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks,

Russell
