Hi Dee,
I remade a little Herrmueller's script. It creates 2 text boxes on every page and places page number into one and coupon number (pagenumber + 9000) into another. You can regulate where to place the text boxes and their sizes by geometricBounds parameter.

doc=app.activeDocument;
pgLn = doc.pages.length;
for(i=pgLn;i>0;i--){
myPageFrame = doc.pages[i-1].textFrames.add();
myPageFrame.geometricBounds = [20, 10, 30, 40];
myPageFrame.contents = "Page " + doc.pages[i-1].name;
myCouponFrame = doc.pages[i-1].textFrames.add();
myCouponFrame.geometricBounds = [20, 40, 30, 80];
myCouponFrame.contents = "Coupon Number " + (parseInt(doc.pages[i-1].name) + 9000);
}
