How do YOU pronounce “coupon”? I’m guessing it’s a regional thing.
On a related note, I think I’m in love with Steve Bourie’s voice. It’s like a soothing shower of knowledge flowing over me—and making ME a smarter gambler!

Weirdly, in my head when reading it to myself it's "cue-pon," but speaking it out loud I say "coo-pon."

Coupon is 'Coo pon'
Leisure is 'Lezyer'

Coupon rhymes with poupon, as in Grey Poupon mustard, for us, but accent first syllable, not second . KOOH-pahn.

Doesn't seem to have a strong regional correlation.
