How I Find & Verify Coupon Codes

SavvyCodeFinds is an independently run coupon site. I share codes I can use myself, such as my personal ambassador and affiliate codes, with the details you need to use them: the discount, restrictions, expiry date and verification status.

What the labels mean

  • Merchant verified (with a date): confirmed by the store or in my official affiliate/ambassador dashboard on that date.
  • Verified (with a date): I tested the code at the store's checkout on that date, and it worked.
  • Community reported working: at least the minimum number of shoppers answered "Did it work?" and 90% or more said yes recently.
  • Verification pending: the code is listed with the store's advertised offer, but hasn't been confirmed yet. Your checkout shows whether it applies.
  • Didn't work when last checked / Expired: the code moves to the expired list.
  • Exclusive code: a code issued to me personally, such as an ambassador code.

Activity numbers and success rates

  • "Code copies today" / "Shop clicks today": real people copying a code or clicking through on this site today, each person counted once. A copy doesn't prove a purchase.
  • "Uses today" / "Last used": only shown when a store or affiliate network has confirmed real purchases with the code.
  • Community success rate: the share of shoppers who answered "yes, it worked", shown only after enough answers come in (with the number of answers next to it).
  • No activity number is ever estimated, padded or made up. If there's no data, nothing is shown.

How a code gets verified

  • Tested at the store's checkout
  • Confirmed in my affiliate/ambassador dashboard
  • Confirmed by the brand in writing

I never mark a code as verified without one of these checks, and every check is logged with its date.

Expired codes

When a code passes its expiration date or stops working, it moves to an "Expired & inactive" list on the store page, so you can see its history without being misled.

Shop buttons and commissions

Shop buttons go straight to the store through my affiliate or ambassador link. If you buy something, I may earn a commission. See the affiliate disclosure.
