When discount coupons first started going around, these were not often seen on retailers’ web sites. Instead, coupon codes appeared on related shopping sites in order to lead shoppers to the retailer’s online store. Today, many retailers continue to have coupons on related websites, but also offer one or more coupon codes on their store’s websites or through weekly emails that are sent out to their customers.
The easiest way to locate a coupon code is to use your chosen online search engine including Google and keying in in “Promotion Code.” This can create a long list of internet sites offering online coupons. Buyers can then visit the sites and compare the voucher savings available.
Sometimes buyers will find coupon codes for specific shops when they have determined what they really want to buy. You can do this by adding the retailer’s title and “promotion code” into the major search engines.
How do I know if a coupon code is working?
The merchant will have a page showing how much you are being charged for the merchandise, how much is being discounted because you submitted a coupon code and any shipping fees that may be applied usually. This should show on an order page before you submit your approval of the charges. Try contacting customer service before completing the transaction if you enter the coupon code and do not see the discount on the order review page.
