How We Verify Coupons
Every offer carries an honest label. “Verified” has a specific meaning here, and “Not tested yet” is a normal, truthful state.
Last updated:
The labels we use
- Verified
- A published checkout clip (a few seconds long) exists for that offer, with a test date no more than 30 days old. We use this label only when that clip is published.
- Tested (with date)
- We ran a checkout test and kept a screenshot or receipt, but there is no public clip. The label shows the date of the test.
- Not tested yet
- No test has been run. This says nothing about whether the offer works, and we show it rather than guess.
- Recheck needed
- The clip is older than 30 days, or the last test could not be interpreted safely (for example a login requirement, CAPTCHA or region restriction). It is not shown as verified until it is tested again.
- Store deal
- A deal the store itself publishes: “Published by the store — confirm the price at checkout.”
Labels come only from test evidence. They are never inferred from popularity, commission rates or shopper counts, and we do not publish success rates we have not measured.
How a check works
Eligible offers can be checked by CouponVerity’s automated verification agents using checkout-safe steps. The agent follows the merchant’s checkout, records what happened, and stops before placing an order or making a payment. Agents do not bypass CAPTCHA.
A check can record merchant messages, checkout text, before-and-after totals, discount values, merchant URLs, screenshots or trace metadata. Earlier attempts stay in the history rather than being overwritten by a later one.
Where AI is involved
Deterministic rules come first. AI may help interpret a checkout page or classify an outcome, but it cannot create a “Verified” result without supporting evidence.
How often offers are re-tested
We aim to re-test codes we feature in videos or as exclusives about every 7 days, and other codes about every 30 days. This is a target, not a guarantee. Every offer shows the date of its last test.
Even a code that worked in a test can stop working later, because merchant terms change. The final checkout on the merchant’s site is the last word for your order.
Report a code that did not work
Tell us through Verity AI on the site, or email contact@couponverity.com with the store, the code or offer, and what the checkout said.
A report is a signal for review, not a verdict. It does not automatically mark an offer as failed, because the result can depend on region, account state, product eligibility, minimum spend or timing. If a review shows an offer no longer works, we update its label or remove it.
