What the FAQ?
Coupons can be confusing, annoying and sometimes totally fake. Here are straight answers to the things people ask us all the time.

Using the coupons
How do I use a code?
Copy it with the Copy button, open the brand's site and paste it into the promo or discount field at checkout. For deals without a code, the link applies the offer for you.
A code didn't work. Now what?
Check the conditions on the offer page first: new customers only, minimum spend and region rules cause most failures. If it still fails, tap "Nope" under the offer. We re-test it and fix or remove it.
What does "New customers only" mean?
The brand gives the discount on a first order or first account only. If you already have an account, the code will be rejected, so we say so up front.
Do the coupons work in apps?
Usually, but it depends on the brand. Most codes work in mobile browsers; in-app checkouts can be picky. If a code fails in the app, try the browser, or tell us and we'll test it.
Are these deals just for the U.S.?
Mostly. We focus on brands that sell to people in the United States and test from there. Some codes work abroad too, and we say so when we know.
Can I combine two codes?
Almost never. Most shops allow one promo code per order. If a brand allows stacking, the offer page says so.
How we work
How do you check a coupon?
We use the code or link in a real checkout or sign-up and only publish it when the discount appears in the total. Every offer shows the date of its last check.
How often do you re-check?
We re-test offers regularly, and right away when someone reports a problem. Every offer shows the date of its last check, so you can see how fresh it is.
Why are there so few coupons compared to other sites?
Because we only list what we tested. Fifty codes that fail aren't better than one that works.
Do you run ads or pop-ups?
Nope. No autoplay videos, no "wait, don't leave!" overlays, no newsletter pop-ups. Just codes.
Money and trust
Are the coupons free to use?
Yes. You never pay or sign up with us. Copy the code or open the link and redeem it on the brand's own site.
Are these affiliate links?
Some are. If you use them, the brand may pay us a small commission or referral bonus. It never costs you extra and never decides which offers we list or where they appear.
Who runs Checked Coupons?
No mystery corporation, promise. We're part of the same coupon-obsessed family as CouponBoys and CuponCheck, and the legal grown-up behind it all is primero.link. More on our About page.
Do you sell my data?
No. We don't use tracking or analytics tools and we don't sell or share personal data. The details are in our privacy policy.
