Just had a cashier give me the CUE- pon version.
Always pronounced it COO - pon myself.

Is this a regional accent thing?
I almost never hear cue-pon here in new york.
What region are those of you who pronounce it that way from?

Coupe is pronounced ku-pay in French so the P does not need to be silent when followed by other letters.

You say toe-may-toe, I say toe-may-tah. Poe-tay-toe, poe-tah-toe. And, now there’s this: Coo-pon or cue-pon?
A nationwide poll finds that it’s not entirely clear how to pronounce the money-saving paper clippings. The poll, commissioned by Coupons.com, asked people: “How do you pronounce the word ‘coupon’?”
In what the company called “a surprise upset,” 57 percent of people in the U.S. say “cue-pon.”
That pronunciation was favored in 36 states, including most of the South, Midwest and Northwest. The top five states that skewed most heavily toward the pronunciation were New Mexico, Idaho, Missouri, South Dakota and North Dakota.
Meanwhile, the states that prefer saying “coo-pon” include Washington, D.C., New Hampshire, New Jersey, Hawaii and Rhode Island.
In a statement, Coupons.com CEO Steven Boal said he’s been pronouncing it “coo-pon” since founding the company 13 years ago.
Coupons.com raised a jaw-dropping $200 million in capital in June, and then added $30 million more to its shopping cart only four months later.
Thus, money for goofy polls.
As Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong would have sung: “Let’s call the whole thing off.”
