About PromoCodeValid
PromoCodeValid started from a simple frustration: searching for a promo code almost always leads to pages listing dozens of expired codes, with no date, no source, and sometimes codes that were simply made up to farm clicks.
Our approach is different. Every article here starts with research on the brand's official channels (website, newsletter, social media) and feedback from our reader community. We always show the last verification date and the code's source, and we remove or flag offers that stop working as soon as we hear about it.
We don't claim a code will work 100% of the time you read the article: retailers change their terms without notice, and a code can expire between two updates. That's why every article also includes ways to save even without a code (flash sales, cashback, loyalty programs) and an explanation of the most common reasons a code gets rejected at checkout.
PromoCodeValid is funded through affiliate links and display advertising (Google AdSense). This costs our readers nothing extra, and doesn't influence our selection: we list the same offers the brand itself makes available, with or without an affiliate link.
PromoCodeValid is an independent project, with no editorial staff or office to list just yet — we'd rather say that plainly than invent a team. What is verifiable, though, is our method, detailed below.
Our verification method, in detail
What "verified" actually means
A code is marked verified once we've confirmed, as of the date shown, that it comes from an official source (the brand's site, its app, a verified social media account) or a dated, specific reader report — never a straight copy from another coupon site.
How often things get updated
Every article is reviewed on a regular basis, and immediately once a reader flags a code as broken through the Contact page. The "Last checked" date at the top of each article reflects that most recent pass — not the original publish date.
What happens after a report
A code reported as expired gets removed or flagged within days of the report, not months later. We don't leave a dead code online just because the article still gets search traffic on that keyword.
What we don't do
No made-up codes to pad out an article, no "X verified codes" counter that isn't backed by anything measurable, no fake countdown timers. If we don't know whether an offer is still active, the article says so plainly instead of claiming it is.
