Why Your Coupon Code Is Not Working

Terri Lynn knows the feeling of disappointment when a coupon code doesn't work. It's a common problem, and there are several reasons why it might not be working. It could be expired, have exclusions, or simply not be transferable. Promo codes have largely replaced the old clip-and-save coupons found in the Sunday paper, and they are extremely popular.

Before checking if the coupon is legitimate, you'll need to go through the purchase process and enter all your details, including your credit card number. Unless otherwise noted, coupons do not apply to store gift cards or certain brands prohibited by the retailer. Additionally, some coupons may exclude entire categories, such as sale and clearance products, as well as items with unique prices, such as “Deal of the Day” items. It's also possible that you have chosen a coupon that cannot be redeemed in your country.

Some stores offer coupon codes only once in a while or never, so you might not find anything when you browse. If you receive a message that says “Enter a valid discount code or gift card”, it could mean that the coupon is invalid or expired. To make sure your coupon code works, add more products to your cart to meet the minimum purchase criteria specified in the coupon body of the promo code. Alternatively, look for another promo code that does not require a minimum purchase.

Some of the coupons sent to email subscribers could be one-time use codes, which are created specifically for that subscriber and can only be used once. Coupon sites like Dealspotr have a whole community of publishers who constantly keep an eye on promo codes and remove them from the site if they don't work. This helps ensure that shoppers can always find valid coupons and get the best deals.
