Quick Summary: PureCouponCodes earns a commission when you click a deal link and make a purchase — at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the site free. Our editorial team independently selects and verifies all coupons regardless of affiliate relationships. We never accept payment to feature or rank a coupon. 

⚖️

FTC Disclosure — Required by Federal Law PureCouponCodes participates in affiliate marketing programs. In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials — 

16 C.F.R. Part 255 — we are required to disclose that we may earn a commission when you click links on this Site and complete a qualifying purchase. This disclosure applies to all coupon links, deal links, and store links on PureCouponCodes. 

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based advertising model in which a website — in this case, PureCouponCodes — earns a commission by referring customers to retailers and online stores. When you click a coupon or deal link on our Site and complete a qualifying purchase, the retailer pays us a small referral fee.

This model is how PureCouponCodes is able to offer its coupon-finding service completely free to users. You never pay more — in fact, you pay less, because we are directing you to verified discount codes and deals.

💡

The price you pay at checkout is identical whether you arrive at a retailer's website through PureCouponCodes or directly. The commission we receive comes from the retailer's marketing budget — not from you.

How Our Affiliate Links Work

Here is a step-by-step explanation of what happens when you click a coupon or deal link on PureCouponCodes:

1

You Click a Deal

You click a "Get Code" or "Activate Deal" button on PureCouponCodes.

2

Tracking Cookie Set

A short-lived tracking cookie (typically 7–30 days) is placed on your device to identify the referral.

3

You Shop Normally

You browse the retailer's site and apply your coupon code at checkout — nothing changes for you.

4

Purchase Confirmed

If you complete a purchase, the affiliate network records the transaction and attributes it to PureCouponCodes.

5

Commission Paid

The retailer pays us a small commission — typically 1%–10% of the order value, depending on the merchant.

6

You Save Money

You receive your discount. We receive a commission. Everyone benefits — at zero cost to you.

Cookie Duration: Affiliate tracking cookies typically last between 7 and 30 days, depending on the retailer and affiliate network. If you return to make a purchase within that window after clicking our link, we may still earn a commission even if you did not use a coupon code. 

Our Affiliate Partner Networks

PureCouponCodes works with the following affiliate networks and direct programs to source, track, and attribute commissions. These networks may place cookies on your device when you click through our links:

🔗 ShareASale

🔗 Commission Junction (CJ)

🔗 Impact Radius

🔗 Rakuten Advertising

🔗 Amazon Associates

🔗 Awin

🔗 FlexOffers

🔗 Direct Merchant Programs

Each of these networks maintains its own privacy policy governing how tracking data is collected and used. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any networks relevant to your browsing if you have concerns about data collection.

Our Editorial Independence Policy

Affiliate income funds the operation of PureCouponCodes, but it does not influence which coupons we publish, how we rank them, or what we say about them. We maintain a strict separation between our commercial relationships and our editorial decisions.

🔍

Independent Verification

Every coupon is independently tested and verified by our editorial team before publication — regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists.

🚫

No Pay-to-Feature

We do not accept payment from retailers or brands to feature, rank, or promote specific coupons. Our rankings are based solely on discount value, verification status, and user success rates.

Expired Codes Removed

We actively remove expired or non-working codes. Our team verifies codes on a rolling basis and relies on user-reported votes to catch outdated coupons quickly.

User-First Rankings

Coupons are ranked by discount size, verification recency, and community usage data — not by which stores pay higher commissions.

📝

Honest Reviews

Store reviews and ratings on our Site reflect genuine user feedback and editor assessments. We do not inflate ratings for affiliate partners.

🌿

Mission Alignment

Our mission is to help shoppers save money. Affiliate income is only sustainable if our coupons actually work — so our commercial interests and user interests are naturally aligned.

Stores Without Affiliate Relationships

Not every store or coupon on PureCouponCodes has an affiliated tracking link. We also publish coupons and deals for retailers with whom we have no affiliate relationship, because our goal is to be the most comprehensive and useful coupon resource for US shoppers — regardless of whether we earn a commission.

If a store link does not have an affiliate tracking parameter, clicking it will take you directly to the retailer's website with no tracking cookie. We include these stores and codes because they offer genuine value to our users.

Advertising on PureCouponCodes

In addition to affiliate commissions, PureCouponCodes may display third-party advertisements. These ads are served by advertising networks such as Google AdSense and may use cookies to deliver interest-based ads. Advertising revenue, like affiliate revenue, supports the free operation of this Site.

Advertisements are clearly distinguishable from editorial content on our Site and are labeled as "Sponsored" or "Ad" where required by law and platform policy. Advertisers do not influence the editorial selection or ranking of coupons.

Transparency Note: PureCouponCodes does not accept sponsored coupon placements or paid editorial coverage. If a store wishes to have a coupon featured on our Site, it must be submitted through our standard coupon submission process and pass our editorial verification — the same as any other coupon. 

Frequently Asked Questions

 Does using your coupon links cost me anything extra? 

 No — never. The price you pay at checkout is identical whether you arrive at a retailer through PureCouponCodes or directly. The commission we earn comes entirely from the retailer's marketing budget. In fact, by using our verified coupon codes, you will typically pay less than you would going directly to the store. 

 Do affiliate relationships affect which coupons you show or recommend? 

 No. Our editorial team selects and ranks coupons based on discount value, verification status, expiration date, and user success rates — not on which stores pay higher commissions. We also publish coupons for many stores with which we have no affiliate relationship at all, because our priority is user value. 

 What happens if I click your link but don't buy right away? 

 An affiliate tracking cookie is typically placed on your device for 7–30 days (duration varies by retailer). If you return to the retailer and complete a purchase within that window, we may still earn a commission. The price you pay is unaffected. You can delete cookies at any time through your browser settings — see our Cookie Policy for instructions. 

 Can I opt out of affiliate tracking? 

 Yes. You can clear cookies from your browser at any time, which will remove any existing affiliate tracking cookies. You can also use a browser extension to block tracking scripts, or opt out of interest-based advertising through industry opt-out tools listed on our Cookie Policy page. None of these actions will affect your ability to use coupons on our Site or the price you pay at checkout. 

 Why are some stores featured more prominently than others? 

 Prominent placement on PureCouponCodes is based on popularity (number of user visits and coupon uses), freshness of verified coupons, discount depth, and editorial relevance — not on affiliate commission rates. Our "Featured" and "Staff Pick" labels reflect genuine editorial choices made by our deals team. 

 Does PureCouponCodes comply with FTC disclosure requirements? 

 Yes. This Affiliate Disclosure page, along with inline disclosures throughout our Site, is maintained in compliance with FTC guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255). We believe in full transparency with our users about how we earn revenue and how that affects — or in our case, does not affect — our editorial decisions.
