Methodology

We don't list codes. We verify them.

Most coupon sites scrape whatever they can find and hope it works. A large share of codes on the public web are dead, region-locked or fake. Every code on DealVault passes three independent layers of checking before it reaches you.

Layer 1

Automated testing

Headless browsers add items to a real cart at each merchant and attempt every known code. A code that fails twice in a row is pulled from the site automatically.

Layer 2

Human consensus

Contributors submit and confirm codes with screenshot proof. Each contributor carries a trust score, and a code only publishes once weighted consensus clears our threshold.

Layer 3

Fleet signal

Anonymous checkout outcomes from real shoppers give us ground truth: which codes are still applying, on which cart sizes, and with which exclusions.

What we remove

  • Codes that fail two consecutive automated checkout attempts.
  • Codes flagged as invalid by multiple high-trust contributors.
  • Expired promotions, even when the merchant leaves the landing page live.
  • Codes tied to closed accounts, employee portals or leaked internal discounts.
