The time from which the coupon can be traded can be viewed in the game in the coupon description. The option of trading each coupon separately depends on the time of its receipt and doesn’t depend on the vehicle coupon.

I have now done the 20 kills in Air RB but the task is not completed for some reason
Im having the same thing, very frustrating. ive only been playing air realistic and after 33 kills its still not completed, while its supposed to be 20 kills in realistic...
Larsman2000, Please restart the game or play one more battle.
My only issue with this process is that you can only achieve the stars over set days with resets. This means that anyone who has real-world commitments like work and family are going to struggle to complete these tasks. It took me most of Sunday to get my second pilot star (not a very good fighter pilot) and I'm working until 10pm three nights, I have my own tasks and chores to do in the mornings and then working right after Christmas again.
Great Event ! I really want to see Baltimore.
Santa where my P51A?
It get's more and more grindy every year. And the thing is, as an old player who loves to collect, it is too frustrating to not get those vehicles so I would and will rather stop playing the game. I would invest GE for some "Mark of distinction" i missed, but not all my savings for my hobbies. That's it for me =) Have a nice christmas and stay safe alltogether!
Same here...The introduction of bot planes and the nerfing of the hit detection killed it for me...No more...Don't even know if i will ever fly in this steaming pile of a game again, already wasted too much of my life on it for 0.00 return...
So event broked again, i did 25 killassists and didnt get it checked, why is that?
yea me too.. got 20 kills in RB while on plane but it didnt checked
I completed the 5 stars for the plane but I havent gotten the coupon for it. what gives?
I just unlocked the RO.57 Quadriama but it's not showing up in my garage or tech tree ?
I'm playing on PC with my Xbox account and I'm seeing no progress for any of the tasks... I'll be bringing it to a report but I'd like to put it here first.
Are you supposed to get duplicate Pin-Ups? I got the Italian one twice
