Mae West compared falling in love to cashing in coupons because both involve redeeming something you’ve collected for a reward or benefit. When people are in love, they feel they can gain emotional fulfillment, companionship, and other rewards from their relationship, similar to how coupons allow you to gain material goods or savings by redeeming clips from newspapers.
Her quote suggests that once someone has found love, they should make the most of the relationship and “cash in” on the rewards of being with their partner, just as smart shoppers cash in coupons to get items at a discount.
