OnLine Coupon Codes:

Have you ever purchased something online and during the checkout step, you see a place to enter a “promotional code”?  Where do people get these codes?  How much money would you save if you knew them?

Well, there are websites that gather this type of information and anyone can look them up!  Once you know the code, all you have to do is type in the code and your total amount due is automatically adjusted.

These ‘promo code gathering’ websites show you codes by category or by retailer's name.  We recommend that you look through all of them as there may be more than one code for a particular retailer or product.  Most of the time, you are only allowed to enter one promotional code.

Here are several sites that list some of these promo codes:

- www.couponcabin.com                                                 -  www.coupons-coupon-codes.com                  - www.coolsavings.com

- www.currentcodes.com                                      -  www.dealtaker.com/coupons.html                 - www.couponcraze.com 

- www.keycode.com                                            -  www.retailmenot.com

- www.naughtycodes.com

How do these sites get the codes?  Who cares!  Actually, they are distributed by the retailers mainly for their regular customers.  They usually send them out by either e-mail or regular mail and they hope to achieve viral marketing, as the recipients pass the information on to friends.  Posting of codes on sites helps attract customers.  People who shop with the codes may spend more on other things.

Try it for yourself.

Good Luck!
