How CouponsView works
Most coupon sites optimise for the number of codes on a page. We optimise for whether the code works. That single difference drives every part of the product below.
0–100
CouponsView Confidence
A single score for how likely an offer is to actually save you money right now, with the reasoning stored alongside it.
90–100
Highly Verified
Confirmed by multiple reputable sources and recent checks. Very likely to work right now.
75–89
Verified
Recently confirmed with consistent signals. Likely to work.
50–74
Conditional
May work, but conditions apply or signals are mixed. Check the restrictions before relying on it.
0–49
Low confidence
Not enough positive signal to recommend. Shown for transparency only, never promoted.
Anything below 50 is never recommended prominently. We would rather show you nothing than send you to a dead checkout.
Inputs
What feeds the score
Source authority
Merchant and affiliate-network feeds outrank scraped or user-submitted codes.
Freshness
Confidence decays over time. An offer nobody has checked in weeks cannot stay Highly Verified.
Confirmation
The same coupon arriving from multiple reputable sources strengthens one canonical offer instead of creating duplicates.
Shopper reports
Worked / didn't work reports feed in, dampened so a single anonymous report is never treated as definitive.
Automated verification
Link-health and feed checks are recorded with their result and timestamp, and shown on the page.
Geographic match
An offer valid only in another country scores lower for you, not higher.
Restriction complexity
Minimums, exclusions and eligibility gates reduce the chance an offer works for a typical basket.
Expiration proximity
Offers close to expiry are discounted, and expired offers are removed from recommendations.
