How we check coupons and deals

A coupon site is only useful if its offers are real. This page explains how VettedCodes checks an offer before it appears on a store page, and what the label next to each offer means.

1. Where offers come from

We collect offers from store websites, store newsletters, official affiliate programs and codes shoppers send us.

2. What the labels mean

• Checked on [store website] + date: we saw the offer on the store's own website on that date, for example in a sale collection, a site banner or a product price.
• Official affiliate code + date: the store issued this code to VettedCodes through its affiliate program. The store sets the discount amount, and you see it in your order total at checkout.
• Tested at checkout + date: we added a product to the cart and applied the code, and the discount appeared in the order total.

When a store has no working public promo code, we say so on its page instead of listing codes that do not work.

3. Success rate

Some codes show a success rate. It combines our own tests with shopper votes from the "Did this code work?" button.

4. Removing expired offers

Offers with an end date are removed automatically when they expire. Offers without an end date are rechecked regularly.
