                      No   :  The current Discount coupon can restrict the discount except the discount having 'Yes' in the same setting.
                      For eg.- There are 3 discounts coupons:
                              XYZ (5$ discount),

                            - But the discount coupon 'EXTRA', can be used with any of these two: XYZ,ABC. It means,
                              only 'EXTRA' coupon should be clubbed with any of the other discounts.
                     In this case, set parameter 'Can be clubbed with other discounts' to 'No' for discount coupons, XYZ & ABC and 'Yes' for EXTRA.
