How We Verify Coupons
Every code on ChoiceOnTop goes through the same 5-step process before — and after — it's published.
Our editorial standard since day oneSourcing from official channels
We collect offers directly from official affiliate networks (Impact, CJ Affiliate, Awin, Rakuten Advertising, FlexOffers) and from promotions merchants send us. We deliberately avoid scraping unreliable coupon dumps — that's where dead codes come from.
Manual review before publishing
Before a coupon goes live, an editor checks the discount value, whether a code is required, the validity dates, and that the landing page actually works.
Clear labeling
Verified means our team recently tested the code at checkout. Offers we haven't personally tested yet are shown without the verified badge, so you always know the difference.
Ongoing monitoring
Our system re-checks offers for expiration dates, merchant changes, and broken links. Expired offers are automatically removed so you don't waste time at checkout.
User feedback loop
When a reader reports a non-working coupon, we re-test it and remove it if it fails. Your reports make the site better for everyone.
