Signals VS Celery task

So i have this scenario and quite not sure whether celery is the right tool for the job. I have to track the fifth order placed by a user to give them a coupon. Currently i have implemented a signal on the

@receiver(pre_save, sender=Order)
def pre_save_stuff():
     #this has overhead on db since am excluding customers not in 
     #loyalty progamme.They are many
     do_coupon_stuff()

method. However i have now to exclude a particular group of customers with a query that has overhead slowing the request cycle for this order. Does it make sense to user celery in this scenario?

If you want to give coupon in the response itself. You have to do this. Otherwise just give the task to background (celery is an option)
