🔒 Tactic #8: Reverse Coupon Hack (Locked Preview)

🎯 Objective

Instead of offering a public discount, you "accidentally" leak a coupon code like:

STEALTH25 – Internal use only. Expired Oct 1.

Share it in a tweet, Reddit thread, or blog post with a caption:

"This was meant for internal testers. Not sure if it still works…"

Users rush to try it. It fails. Curiosity spikes.

"Want access to the real vault? Here's how →"
