If I'm saying *actually* how many times it happened, and I say a couple, I'll usually mean 2.But if it has happened a lot of times or indeed *every damn time* and I'm doing the British understating thing, I might also say a couple of times.
If it's happened a small number of times and I can't recall exactly how many, I'd say a few times rather than a couple.
