Discounts - Is this possible?

[Owen Drumm]

I want to setup a discount as follows:

New customers to the site spending any amount gets item A free.
Returning customers spending over £50 gets the same item A free.

I have been trying to think of a way to get this done but have only managed to setup either one or the other as the only way I can identify new customers is offline.

Anyone got any ideas on this one?

Not possible without the introduction of a login for previous users or a coupon code for new ones.
