Our promises
Not being awful, in writing.
Six things we commit to, and one rule you can check.
01No fake or dead codes
A code appears with evidence of two kinds: who on our staff tested it, when, with what basket, and what members did in the last 48 hours. No evidence, no “Current” label.
02Old proof is shown, not hidden
Staff tests are current for 7 days, re-test due to day 14, then re-test overdue, last tested N days ago. The code stays visible. We would rather show you old proof honestly than make the choice for you.
03No pop-ups, minimal ads
No overlays, interstitials, countdown pressure or notification prompts. Any ad is labelled and kept out of the feed.
04We never hijack your click
An affiliate link is used only on the merchant you click “Go to” for. Copying a code, opening a page or visiting another merchant never swaps or overwrites anyone’s link.
05Ranking is commission-blind
See below. The commission a merchant pays is not available to the ranking code at all.
06We say when we’re wrong
Flagged stale or broken? It is marked with a visible note, not quietly deleted.
How we rank
At launch there is one tab, New: newest first. Punches are shown on every card, one per member, and you can take yours back. Trending and Discussed come later, under the same rule.
order = posted_time, newest first
punches = one per member, reversible, shown not sortedcommission advertiser click_through_rate ← not inputs
A worked example (invented)
| Deal | Posted | Punches | Our commission | Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tumble dryer | 2h ago | 412 | 4.5%, not read | 1 |
| Storage bench | 5h ago | 187 | 8%, not read | 2 |
| Knife block | yesterday | 96 | 12%, not read | 3 |
The knife block pays us the most and still sits last. That is the point.
How we do earn
If you click “Go to” on a merchant and buy, that merchant may pay us a commission. It is the same however a deal ranks, and it costs you nothing. That is all, and we say so on every page that has a button.
How a code gets its proof
A person adds an item to a basket of the stated size, applies the code, and records what happened. That is the staff proof. Members add theirs by telling us if it worked. The two are shown side by side, never blended into one score. Open any merchant page and drag the mock clock to watch both age.
