Bing Ads SearchCoupons operation fails

Hello !

I've been struggling with the SearchCoupons operation.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/advertising/customer-billing-service/searchcoupons?view=bingads-13

I want to check if my clients (whose ads accountas are linked to my account) have used one of my coupons.

For that I use the SearchCoupons operation with my account acccess token ( I have no problem using this for other operations like SearchInsertionOrders, reporting, etc)

The problem is that when I use that operation I get the 1001 error code.

Here is the SOAP Response (I've removed sensible data)

        </ApiFault>

</s:Envelope>  

Why is that happening? I can use the same access token for any other operation like SearchInsertionOrder.
