Coupon policy

This page sets out the rules the offers on ZoomCoupon follow — how they get here, what each label actually means, and when we take them down.

Where offers come from

Offers reach us in two ways:

• Brand partner feeds (most offers). Retailers publish their promotions to the affiliate networks they work with, and our system imports them daily. The offer, its terms and its tracking link come from the merchant itself.
• Shopper submissions. Anyone can submit a coupon. These are private until a person reviews them, and many are rejected.

We do not scrape other coupon sites. A code copied from a competitor is a code nobody has checked.

What we publish

Coupon codes, automatic deals, sales, free-shipping offers and similar promotions. Each offer can show its type, discount, conditions, recorded verification date and how it has been performing for other shoppers.

What our labels mean

• Verified (green tick) — a person recorded a successful check on the date shown. Codes are checked for acceptance at checkout; deals are checked for being live on the retailer's site. No check, no badge.
• Live in brand's feed — the merchant's own feed still listed this offer on the date shown. Confirmed automatically every day. It is a real signal, but a weaker one than a human check, so we label it differently rather than calling it "verified".
• Exclusive — the retailer supplied this code to us or to a limited set of partners rather than publishing it openly. We do not apply this label to public codes to make them look special.
• Coupon code — you copy a code and enter it at checkout. Deal — the discount applies automatically once you click through, with no code to enter.
• Expiring soon — the retailer gave the offer an end date that is close. An offer with no end date simply has none published.

How offers are ranked

We order offers by how likely they are to help you: how recently they were checked, whether they are verified, and whether other shoppers report them as working. Commission does not enter the calculation. The largest headline discount is not automatically first — a reliable 15% beats a 60% code that nobody can get to apply.

No fake or misleading offers

We do not create codes, invent discounts, recycle expired offers to pad a page, or describe a standing sale as a limited-time event. Where an offer has conditions — a minimum spend, new customers only, selected lines only — we aim to state them with the offer rather than let you find out at checkout.

Expiry and removal

Offers with an end date drop off automatically when that date passes. Seasonal promotions the merchant left open-ended — a Mother's Day deal with no end date, say — are retired once the season has clearly passed, rather than sitting on a page all year. We also check store websites periodically and unpublish shops that have closed down, along with their offers. Offers that our checks or shopper feedback show to be broken are expired. A store page with nothing live will say so honestly rather than show dead codes. We would rather publish a short list that works than a long one that wastes your time.

Please check before you pay

Promotions can be changed, exhausted or pulled by the retailer at any moment, including between our last import and your visit. Always confirm the code and the discount on the retailer's own site, at checkout, before completing your order.

Tell us when something is wrong

If a code fails, use the feedback buttons on the offer — that updates its success rate immediately and helps the next shopper. You can also request a code on any store page, or reach us through the contact page. More detail on our checking process is on the how we verify coupons page.
