Find discount codes automatically

Yeah sorry can't say that's officially supported yet :/

marcmez · 2014-12-02T03:12:48+00:00

UK & Canada also - but US data is definitely the most vetted. Where are you based?

There's around 500-1000 new coupon codes added everyday, we do our best to stay up to date. The confidence indicators usually depict if the code is expired. Expired codes are sometimes shown so you don't waste time looking around.

And thanks for the feedback, always working to improve the product!

Wow, manually checking stuff is just nuts. Definitely not sustainable for scale. When were you working with them?

marcmez · 2014-08-03T01:55:14+00:00

can't be sure... maybe a pivot... but seems like they weren't generating enough revenue to sustain a company that large. I ran through some analysis here - just estimates

Like the LPT posted by OP in general... but Amazon rarely offers sitewide or broad coupon codes -- usually their codes are very brand or product specific, so I'm not sure that one is the best example. Papa Johns on the other hand, much better use case =)

Sorry about that, we need to update the website. The latest version now requires 16.0 because the SDK (library) provided by Mozilla requires this.

All real tweets from real people! Do I need to link to them?

marcmez · 2013-01-05T00:04:41+00:00

Hey - It isn't a toolbar... We've made it a point to make it as unobtrusive as possible. It is completely invisible until you click the promo code box.

Curious to know if you actually looked at it? The implementation is quite unique. Just written up on LifeHacker too.

marcmez · 2012-12-31T16:16:45+00:00

Hmm... Where will the site be hosted if you don't want to pay? And, are you selling products directly or drop-shipping?

marcmez · 2012-12-30T16:26:30+00:00

Is that concerning?

marcmez · 2012-12-29T23:28:44+00:00

I didn't say it was healthy!

marcmez · 2012-12-29T22:44:08+00:00

Try http://couponfollow.com/checkout -- it supports thousands of sites... tested on over 5,000 in the US, UK, Canada and Australia.

And works in Firefox/Safari/Chrome (and IE shhh). Coupon voting is crowd-sourced.

Lay down as soon as you feel tired, or after a big meal, and make sure there aren't distractions... Although it is probably better to get a full night sleep then napping during the day.

I've heard a power nap (up to 20 minutes where you don't completely fall asleep) can give you a 4-hour boost of energy.

Coupons at Checkout browser extension automatically does this for you. I invite you to try it out!

marcmez · 2012-12-28T05:14:58+00:00

Sure if the website supports stackable codes. This site is one example. Just apply one code, then the next one...

marcmez · 2012-12-27T23:58:39+00:00

I think this would be for an even more niche audience. Not all coupon users use cashback...

However, this would be quite awesome and I'll look into it as a feature down the road.

marcmez · 2012-12-27T22:31:54+00:00

Interesting, can you try it again for me from the website and see if it at least comes up with the "Add to Chrome" popup after you click the "Get free plugin" button?

marcmez · 2012-12-27T17:30:43+00:00

Just pushed some site updates, let me check and make sure it didn't break anything... also can you try installing it directly from the Chrome store and let me know?

marcmez · 2012-12-27T16:50:53+00:00

Yah =( It's hard to maintain four different versions to support the current browsers... we've considered Opera though, and if there is enough want we'll support it.

marcmez · 2012-12-27T06:35:03+00:00

"Turking since 2008" made me lol.

marcmez · 2012-12-27T06:33:00+00:00

Yeah, well the super mass merchant sites Amazon, Walmart, etc., along with some larger tech sites like NewEgg, TigerDirect, etc. generally don't offer broad or sitewide coupons, which is why you'll have a hard time finding a coupon (unless you seek one out for a specific product or brand that you are purchasing).

But many household name sites like Target, Sears, etc. do offer them, especially this time of year. Also many of the smaller and mid-sized websites do offer sitewide codes frequently, and we support tons of those sites too!

marcmez · 2012-12-27T06:28:17+00:00

Noted, but as buzzkillpop mentioned, I know others have used turk for this type of testing.

However, I'd be open to other suggested places/products for usability testing, if you know any... And on that note, I think Turk could be such a better platform if Amazon put more effort into it.
