Website Review: Coupon Chief

Just recently, Coupon Chief contacted me about reviewing their website, one of the fastest growing coupon sites on the web right now (with over 200,000 visitors a month). After checking it out and giving it a trial run, I have found that it is actually a really excellent tool! Here is some helpful information about the website:
What is it?
Coupon Chief is a website that allows you to search for retail coupon codes to use for online shopping. There are over 40,000 different coupon codes on their website, giving them one of the largest retail coupon databases online.

How does it work?
You simply go to the Coupon Chief website, and in the "Search for a coupon now" box, you enter the name of a store that you want to find an online coupon code for! All of the coupons for that store will be listed. You simply copy and paste the code that you want to use, and enter it in the promotional code box during checkout while shopping at that specific online store.

How reliable is it?
One of the best features of this site is that users can "rate" coupon codes. If a code works for you, you can mark the green box for thumbs up. If a code does not work for you, you can check the red box for thumbs down. These responses will be marked underneath the coupon as green or red dots. These green and/or red dots give you an idea of how often the coupon works. It will also tell you on what date the coupon last worked, which is very helpful!

What are some other features?

  • Expiration date on coupon codes
  • Ability to comment about the coupon codes
  • "Use it!" button that takes you directly to the store's website for quick and easy shopping with your coupon.
  • Store directory listed under the "stores" tab in alphabetical order. (There are over 8000 stores listed!)
  • Browse by tags or categories. There are coupon codes for every type of store you can think of! This isn't just a website for clothing stores. You can find codes for jewelry, toys, health products, furniture, music games, etc. There is even a category for Christmas, and a category for wholesale.
What else is in it for me, besides getting awesome discounts with the codes?
They actually have a "pays 2 share" program. Simply sign up to become a member (free) and upload coupons that you find! Every time somebody uses one of the coupons you uploaded, you get paid for it. How awesome is that?
So, go check it out for yourself! It's a pretty cool site, if you ask me! Wall Street Journal, Mashable, and Lifehacker have great things to say about the site as well. Next time you are shopping online, be sure to check Coupon Chief for your coupon savings codes before you check out! Happy savings! =)
