How codes are verified

Every code on hunt.discount carries its own evidence. Here is what that evidence is, and what it does not cover.

Shoppers do the verifying

Nobody on our side tests these codes at checkout — the people using them do. Each code shows a thumbs up count and a thumbs down count. A thumbs up means the code was accepted at checkout; a thumbs down means it was rejected. That tally is the verification, and it is the reason a code page is worth more than the code itself.

Because the count is a live signal rather than a one-off check, it decays honestly: a code that stops working collects downvotes from the next people who try it.

One vote never counts as evidence: the submitter's own. Posting a code adds an automatic upvote from whoever posted it, which tells you they believed in it, not that it survived a checkout. Wherever this site says a code has been confirmed, and wherever it counts confirmations, that seeded vote is excluded — so a code nobody else has tried is described as untested, however many times its author vouches for it.

What "expired" means

Codes submitted with an expiry date are marked expired automatically once that date passes, and they sink below the working codes on a shop's page. They are not deleted: an expired code is a useful record of what a shop has offered before, and of roughly how deep its discounts tend to go.

Plenty of codes arrive with no expiry date at all. Those are governed entirely by the vote count, which is why voting after you try one matters.

Where the codes come from

Not from another coupon site, which is the main thing worth saying. Most codes are submitted directly by visitors; the rest we source ourselves. Either way a code arrives here unproven: the ones we add ourselves start with no votes at all, so they have to earn their standing from shoppers exactly like everything else.

What we do not promise

That a code will work for you. Shops change terms, run region-specific promotions, restrict codes to first orders or single accounts, and cancel campaigns early. A code with fifty thumbs up can still fail on your cart. If that happens, downvote it — that is the whole mechanism, and it only works when people use it.

Some codes are marked as affiliate codes, meaning whoever submitted it may earn a commission if you use it. They are labelled so you can weigh that yourself.
