Unless the client is actually displaying a countdown, it has no need for the data. All the client needs in this case is a polling mechanism to occur on a set interval, whether or not it intends to display any countdown down. No data needs to be pass back to the server. All the client is essentially asking is "coupon?". Server either gives a coupon or something else that is of no use for anyone to manipulate.
