How to Use Coupon Codes
Find a coupon on SelectACoupon, click 'Reveal Code', copy it, and then paste it into the designated 'Promo Code' or 'Discount' box during the retailer's checkout process.
This depends entirely on the retailer's policy. Most stores only allow one promo code per order, but some allow stacking a promo code with free shipping.
If a code fails, it may have expired, or your cart may not meet the minimum requirements. Try the next code on our list, and click the thumbs down icon to report the broken code.
Retailers often exclude certain brands, new arrivals, or clearance items from promotional discounts. Check the store's terms and conditions for details.
Yes. Most coupon codes are case-sensitive. We recommend using the 'Copy' button on our site to ensure the code is pasted accurately.
Expiration dates vary wildly. Some codes are valid for a year, while flash sale codes might only last 24 hours. We display expiration dates whenever they are provided by the merchant.
No, promo codes found on SelectACoupon are designed for online checkout. However, we sometimes list printable coupons or in-store barcodes if provided by the retailer.
The retailer will typically refund you the exact amount you paid after the discount was applied, not the full retail value of the item.
Some promotions are 'click-to-redeem' deals, meaning the discount is automatically applied to qualifying items when you click through our link, with no code required.
Usually, coupon codes only discount the subtotal of the merchandise. Taxes and shipping fees are calculated after the discount is applied, unless it's specifically a 'Free Shipping' code.
Maximizing Your Savings
