 Hello, I'm evaluating CiviCRM and wonder if there is a way to do more advanced configuration of premiums in a few ways...
I would like to allow donors to choose their own donation level, and then be offered a premium of equivalent dollar amount to use for future services. Example: Donor A decides to contribute $230.  They should then be credited with $230 to use for our products, goods, services. If there is no direct method to achieve this perhaps a workaround could be accomplished with 'coupons', if there is a way to offer coupons through CiviCRM.
Optionally, we could work with predetermined donation amounts and equivalent premiums credit... but letting the donor choose would be so much better.

I've looked around through the docs and searched the forums, but have yet to discover any answers - so I'm hoping someone here will be able to point me in teh right direction, or perhaps have custom coding ideas.

Thanks!

1.)
Spot on question... Optimally, stuff can be purchased either online, or though a sales-person, or at a location. 

2.)
The post-process hook sounds interesting, but I wouldn't have the first clue on how to proceed....

Otherwise, My first thoughts are to simply use a separate accounting system to track how much credit is available to each donor.  Which means manual transposition, which is a pain and subject to error.  A coupon system or discount code might be much nicer. Did I just accidentally answer my question ?

Thanks!  I will.  I really appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
