  • Affiliates should NOT promote any other coupon codes found elsewhere online.

Your link must send the visitor to the merchant site.
  • The user must be able to see coupon/deal/savings information and details before an affiliate cookie is set (i.e. “click here to see coupons and open a window to merchant site” is NOT allowed).
