Top 10 Sites For Online Coupons & Promotional Codes

By John McClain on Aug. 30th, 2009

If you’ve ever done some online shopping, you may notice it in your shopping cart or order summary during the checkout process. It’s a text box where you can apply an online coupon or promo code and, if valid, get a discount on whatever you’re purchasing. Good stuff, huh?

Plenty of websites offer these online coupons and promotions for online consumers to take advantage of. However, what if you don’t have one of those pesky little codes? There’s no need to worry about looking for where to find them or paying full price with this list. Here’s some websites that may help you save a little bit of money the next time you shop online simply by typing in a code.

RetailMeNot

Covering more than 30,000 online stores and currently offering over 150,000 online coupon codes, RetailMeNot is one of the best sites on the Web for the online shopper.

A strong community helps separates the good codes from the unreliable, so there’s no need to hassle through what works and what doesn’t. The ones retaining high success rates are your best bets.

Read more about RetailMeNot in the MakeUseOf Directory.

CurrentCodes

CurrentCodes offers tons of online coupon codes and is updated frequently. Its huge database covers hundreds of popular online stores and you can find the codes you’re looking for easily by browsing by merchant, alphabetically, or by category.

The website lists everything out plainly, providing the code, a short description of the offer, and the expiration date.

CouponCabin

With thousands of active online coupons and deals available, CouponCabin is a great place to snag a discount online. According to the website, it searches consumer emails, forums, blogs, merchant sites, and newspapers for any coupon codes from online retailers.

Covering just about every store out there, CouponCabin has got a lot of publicity over the years and remains one of the best sites on the Web for getting a deal when shopping online. Be sure to try out searching for coupons locally by zip code and signing up for their weekly newsletter.

Ebates

A vast supply of rebates and coupon codes to over 1,000 stores are at your fingertips on Ebates.

Sort through all of them by store, category, or what kind of deal is being offered, like codes for free shipping, money off, and free gifts. The cashback shopping website makes it simple.

WebbyPlanet

Incorporating some 15,000 stores and over 100,000 coupon codes, WebbyPlanet is another great place to start saving.

The website’s online discount shopping directory allows users to search and shop for items at discounted prices.

In the MUO Directory, more information about WebbyPlanet is available.

Coupon Chief

With coupon codes for both products and services, you can potentially save a bundle by searching Coupon Chief.

Like RetailMeNot, the website invites its members to comment, rate, and validate the codes, so you won’t find any expired coupons here.

Coupon Chief will even pay you back. They’ll share 2% of revenue earned from purchases made with any online coupon you submit.

Learn more about the website in the MUO Directory.

Buxr

Buxr is a social bargain hunting community. The website’s members share hot shopping deals, including those elusive coupon codes, and they’re all voted on by the community based on hotness.

New deals are found and posted everyday, making Buxr a unique but effective site to locate a good discount and save money.

Coupon Cowgirl

Coupon Cowgirl rounds up all the best coupon and promotional codes for its visitors.

Browse the website by store, category, and search for codes providing money off, percent off, or free shipping coupons on your online purchases.

Be sure to check out the site’s luxury brands and cowboy steals pages for more shopping deals.

Savings.com

Search for the best deals and coupon codes at Savings.com. The website’s members vote for the best ones, covering brand-name and recognizable merchants to lesser-known online stores.

Savings.com’s lengthy and well-written About Coupons page also provides readers with pretty much everything you need to know about coupons.

CouponSmarter

With coupon codes to most leading U.S. online stores, it’s just click and save with CouponSmarter.

The website claims to be the world’s largest coupon source, searching merchant sites for discount offers that can save you up to 30% or more on your online purchases.

Looking for more? MakeUseOf’s Directory of Apps has got the scoop on FatWallet, WoW-Coupons, Tjoos, and RatherBeShopping, four more great websites where you’ll find additional discount codes. We’ve also previously covered websites for grocery coupons, bargains, and saving money when shopping online.

Where do you go to save money when shopping on the Web? Let us know in the comments.

Great list. The important thing is to look around. Certain coupon sites are quicker to publish current coupons than others.

I check out bradsdeals.com nearly every day. His site is well organized, and frequently updated. Here you’ll find the codes, the printables, restaurants, coupons by store, by date, AND he goes the extra mile to point out some of the exceptional deals being offered on each day. If this were the only coupon resource, it would be enough for me.

I wish I had this list years ago! Since having my new baby boy, I have had to find the best ways to save on all the new baby items, household items, the list goes on… About 2 months ago, I discovered http://www.savingswatch.com which has been such a great resource for me and my growing family. Great for discounts and rewards and the best part is you get paid a % of every purchase you make! I just wanted to add that site to your list.

You have to include SwoopUp.com! They simply have the easiest site to use with coupons and deals that actually WORK!! It seems like most coupon sites display codes that are expired.

Nice article but missing some key players in the market according to me.

Try htpp://www.myvouchercodes.co.uk for UK market and htpp://www.couponcodes4u.com for US market. They are huge and include more than 20000 stores and thousands of coupons each. Totally free!!!

Happy money saving :)

How about http://www.MomsWhoSave.com ? I like that there are so many ways to interact–the main site, the blog with freebies, giveaways, reviews, printable coupons, etc. And they’re on twitter at http://twitter.com/MomsWhoSave updating more deals all day. They interact with followers too. Oh, and on Facebook as well!

Well I can’t compete with the big companies but I have a site featuring a coupons interface that I would love to have get some more attention. It’s categorized and seperated into coupons, sweepstakes and free shipping offers driven by a network of 125+ advertisers.

Come visit and feel free to leave me some input.
