Topic: How to handle coupons?

I need to account for coupons that are used.  I can think of two options, and was wondering if someone could tell me which option was best.

Option 1:
Create a new item and link it to the GL account for 5060 "Discounts Received" and add it to the sales order

Option 2:
Create a new Bank Account called "Coupons" and create customer payments using this as the bank account.  The bank account would be linked to the 5060 GL account.

All thoughts are appreciated!

Create a new Currency called Coupon (CPN) and set the exchange rate!
