Newsletter Deals

Idea

The link in the newsletter could direct to http://sublimevideo.net/d/rts1/12345 d is for deal, rts1 is the token of the deal, 12345 is the id of the user who clicked the deal link.

Visiting such URL would:

• create/update a record in the user_deals collection (see below for details),
• redirect to https://my.sublimevideo.net/

New models

Deal

• name: Real-Time Stats promotion #1
• description: 20% discount on the Yearly plans
• token: rts1
• type: yearly_plans_discount (other possible value is plans_discount)
• value: 0.2 => 20% (can be nil because maybe it'd not be applicable for all deals)
• started_at/ended_at

In Plan, the #discounted?(site) method should:

• take the list of current available deals, sorted by date DESC (the latest first)
• loop through this list and take the first deal that the site's user has activated
• if there's a deal and its type match with the tested plan, return the deal, otherwise continue the loop
• return false by default

In Plan, the #discounted_percentage(site) method should:

• return 0 if #discounted?(site) is false
• return the deal's value

In Plan, the #price(site) method should:

• return price * #discounted_percentage(site)
