The second sentence is correct.

Why is that?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Many English prepositions don't have exact meanings. We learn which one to use by hearing them used for years. If English is your second language, I wouldn't worry much about preposition usage. We'll still understand what you mean.

Ms. Sue is right. Let me add that a coupon TO a store could mean to gain entry into the store, like a ticket or a pass. FOR implies for use in the store to get a bargain.

It's actually my first language. I was just wondering why it should be one preposition over the other in this case.
