How PromoYeti works

PromoYeti indexes ways to pay less at online shops — 243 of them at the moment, across 15 categories, carrying 840 offers in total. We are not a shop and we are not a review site. Each page answers one question: what can I actually use at this store today, and what will stop it working?

The rule that shapes everything here

We do not invent codes. An offer appears on this site as a code only if somebody read that code on the merchant’s own page, in an affiliate network’s feed, or in an e-mail the merchant sent. If we cannot confirm one, we do not print a plausible-looking string and hope.

This is not a slogan; it is enforced in the code that builds the site. The store registry refuses to compile an offer marked as a code with no code behind it, so a “reveal code” button that reveals nothing cannot ship even by accident. Right now that leaves us with 0 confirmed codes and 840 offers that work without one.

We would rather tell you a shop has no code today than sell you thirty seconds of typing “SAVE20” into a box that rejects it. That is the entire difference between this site and most of the category.

What we publish instead

• Deals that need no code. Outlet sections, multibuy bundles, member pricing, app-only fares, bank offers at checkout, term discounts. In several of these markets that is where the discount genuinely lives, and a code would be the worse option even if we had one.
• The market each storefront serves. A large share of these offers are single-country sites. Every store page states the market before it states a discount, because that is the fact most likely to make the page useless to the person reading it.
• The condition that kills the discount. Sale exclusions, minimum spends, per-passenger caps, renewal prices, fees that a percentage code does not touch. If an offer has one, it is printed under the offer.
• A date. Every offer and every store page carries the day it was last checked. An undated coupon page is telling you nothing.

How an offer gets checked

From the merchant’s own material: the promotions page, the terms attached to a promotion, the delivery and returns policy, the pricing page. Where a figure is a range or moves by country, we describe the shape of the offer rather than invent a number, and we say which market we looked at.

We do not claim to have shopped at every store on this site, because we have not. Anyone telling you they personally tested 243 retailers is telling you something else as well.

What each category page is for

Discounting works differently in different markets, and the biggest saving is often not a code at all. Each category page says how the market actually prices:

• Fashion & footwear. Clothing, shoes, eyewear and jewellery — where the sale section beats the code.
• Beauty & wellness. Cosmetics, fragrance and supplements, where the loyalty scheme usually wins.
• Consumer tech. Phones, laptops and appliances — bank offers and trade-in beat coupon codes.
• Marketplaces & retail. Big storefronts and wholesale platforms with coupon systems of their own.
• Home, family & hobby. Gifting, crafts, kids and sports kit — dated delivery is the thing to check.
• Food & grocery. Groceries, delivery and catering, where the fee schedule is the real price.
• Flights, hotels & transport. Airlines, OTAs, rail and bus, eSIMs — where fees eat the discount.
• Tours, tickets & events. Activities, attractions and shows — bundles beat codes almost every time.
• Cars & mobility. Parts and car hire, where the extras at the desk cost more than the discount.
• Security & privacy. VPNs, antivirus and password managers — priced cheap in year one, not in year two.
• Software & subscriptions. VPNs, security, hosting and creative tools — the renewal is the real price.
• Courses & study. Course platforms and study tools that discount on a fixed cycle.
• Books, music & streaming. Subscriptions and entertainment retail, where the trial is the offer.
• Games & digital keys. First-party stores and key marketplaces, and the gap between them.
• Online services. Freelance work, delivery, data and trading tools — priced on fees, not on price.

How we are paid

Through affiliate commission. If you follow one of our links and buy something, the merchant may pay us a referral fee at no extra cost to you. Outbound links pass through our own /click redirect, which records the click and forwards you to the shop.

What that does not buy: a position, a rating, or an offer we could not confirm. There is no paid placement on this site and no advertiser sees a page before it publishes. The full mechanics are on the affiliate disclosure page.

The honest limitation to state alongside that: every store here is one we can earn from. We do not currently list shops we have no commercial relationship with, so treat this as an index of the offers we cover rather than a survey of the whole internet.

Corrections

Retail terms change constantly and we get things wrong. If an offer here has expired, excludes something we did not mention, or never worked, write to [email protected] with the page and what happened. We will check it, fix it, and re-date the page rather than editing quietly. Corrections jump the queue ahead of everything else in the inbox, including partnership mail.

Found a code that works and is not listed? Send it. We will verify it before it goes up — which is the whole point — and we will say thank you.
