How we test coupon codes

Most coupon sites copy codes from each other and label them “verified” without checking anything. We do the boring version instead: someone opens the store, puts an item in the basket, types the code into the checkout, and writes down what happened.

What we did

The tests below were run between Aug 3, 2026 and Aug 5, 2026. Each row is one code entered at one store’s real checkout page. A store appears once per test, not once per code it sells.

Why the pass rate is high

Every test on this page passed, and that deserves an explanation rather than a victory lap. 63 of the 71 tests used the code OFFERDY — our own partner code at stores we work with directly, not a code copied from somewhere else. That is a far easier test to pass than a code scraped off another coupon site. Treat the log as evidence that these specific codes worked on these specific dates — not as proof that every code everywhere works.

What this does not tell you

A coupon that worked on a given date can stop working the next day — merchants change or cancel codes without notice, and we do not re-run these tests daily. Read the date, not the badge. We publish the date on every offer for exactly this reason.

1 of 71 tests carries a written observation. The rest record only the date and the outcome — the date and the result are the parts we can vouch for.
