Links using URL parameter "&PM=whatever" suddenly only returning Request Error page

I often use my own website to get to my product pages, it's just quicker for me than getting to them via the backend on Z, so I had a major moment of initial panic tonight thinking my store had been deleted when every single product I clicked on from my site returned a Request Error page. Everything was fine in the backend on Z though and links I tested from other places (Facebook, Pinterest, the Show Me forum) all returned my products as normal.

After a little trial & error I was able to deduce that the culprit is the &pm= (for adding a promo code to the link) which I have in all of my website links. Uggh.

Basic product link - working

Product link with Referral ID and Tracking Code parameters - working

 with the promo code parameter added - NOT working

This issue just began tonight, all was fine yesterday.  My site is long overdue for an update but removing this parameter from every single link is going to be extremely tedious and time consuming so really need to know if this a glitch or has Zazzle quietly "depreciated" this parameter?
