Example of how this would work: Constituent purchases a Gift Certificate on our e-commerce site and is sent a unique Discount Code that recipient of the gift certificate uses when purchasing a Ticket to an Event.
Currently, when constituent purchases gift certificate through e-commerce we create a physical document for the recipient. To use the gift certificate to purchase a ticket, the recipient must contact us. When they contact us we create a special Ticket Type with a Promotion Code and email the link to them so that they can register (and pay the difference if the gift certificate is for less than the ticket price). It's inconvenient and clunky.
Ideally, the gift certificate would be electronic and the discount code would be unique, so that Luminate can apply the discount and track any remaining value until it is spent or expires. It could be created in E-commerce and used in Events.

Along this line, it makes way more sense (and the participant is expecting) to enter the discount code at checkout rather than where it is currently. They're not expecting to enter it at the beginning of registration
I upvoted and agree with the original post.
Per the comment and eventbrite link, can't you do much of that with event Promotion Codes already?
Configure Ticket Types > Add Type > 7. Promotion Code: Restricts registration for this event to only those people who click a link that contains this code

Beyond the gift certificate example, we would like to do this with discount codes:
