This document explains how CouponHuntz decides what to recommend, how editorial and commercial functions are separated, and what you can expect when you trust a code on this site.
1. Our purpose
CouponHuntz publishes verified discount codes, cashback offers, and shopping guides for 12+ countries. Our job is to find the codes that actually work and put them in front of readers who want to save money. Everything in this policy serves that purpose.
2. How we source codes
Coupon codes come from four channels:
Brand newsletters and press releases. Codes a brand publishes directly are our primary source.
Affiliate networks. Codes shared in our affiliate-network dashboards (Awin, CJ, Impact, Amazon Associates, etc.) are vetted by network compliance teams before reaching us.
User submissions. Anyone can submit a code via our coupon submission form. Submitted codes go to our verification queue before publishing.
Public events. Sale-window codes published on brand sites during Black Friday, EOSS, Diwali, DSF, Single's Day, etc.
We do not scrape codes from other coupon sites. Codes appearing only on competitor aggregators don't make it onto CouponHuntz until we can verify them at the source.
Every code is walked through the merchant's checkout with a real cart before publishing.
Verification timestamp, success rate, and any restrictions (minimum order, payment method, category exclusions) are recorded.
Active codes are re-tested daily. Failed codes are removed within hours.
Codes are labelled: Verified (tested in last 24h), Trending (high usage rate), Editor's pick (curated for fit), or New (within 7 days of first verification).
4. How we rank and recommend
Rankings are determined by editorial judgment based on:
Verification success rate (does it actually work?)
Effective discount value to the typical user
Restrictions (minimum order, exclusions)
Freshness (recent verification)
User feedback (thumbs-up / thumbs-down ratio on each coupon card)
Rankings are NOT determined by commission rate, affiliate-program tier, or commercial relationship. A merchant who pays 1% can outrank a merchant who pays 8% if the 1% merchant's codes work better.
5. Editorial independence
Hard rule: the partnerships team negotiates commercial deals. The editorial team verifies and ranks. The two teams do not coordinate on rankings. No brand can buy a higher position.
What this means in practice:
No paid placements masquerading as editorial recommendations.
If a brand asks for a higher position, the answer is no.
"Sponsored" content (if we ever run any) is labelled clearly and visually separated from editorial.
Editorial team can recommend a brand that doesn't pay us commission if it's the best choice for readers.
6. Affiliate disclosure
When you click a coupon code on CouponHuntz, you may be redirected through an affiliate link. If you complete a purchase at the merchant, we may earn a commission. You pay the same price either way; the commission comes out of the merchant's marketing budget.
Affiliate links carry rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" per Google's webmaster guidelines. They are not endorsements. We disclose this relationship on every page and on individual coupon cards.
7. What we will not do
Invent star ratings, review counts, or "X people used this" numbers without traceable data.
Sell or share email addresses with third parties (see Privacy Policy).
Republish codes that don't pass our verification.
Take commission to artificially rank a brand higher than its testing warrants.
Accept gifts from brands in exchange for coverage.
8. Corrections
We treat correction requests as high-priority. If you spot an error — broken code, wrong fact, outdated information, missing restriction — email editorial@couponhuntz.com. Typical resolution:
Broken code → removed within 4 hours
Factual error in editorial content → corrected within 24 hours; correction note added if the change is material
Missing or wrong restriction → updated within 4 hours
9. AI and editorial content
Editorial content (brand pages, comparisons, blog articles, country guides) is written by humans on our editorial team. We use AI tools for outlining, fact-checking, and grammar — never for unattributed content. Articles include a real author byline and editorial review.
10. How this policy changes
This document is updated as our operations evolve. Material changes will be flagged at the top of this page with a date.
