CouponChief.com Site Review

Since we all know I enjoy saving money when I shop, I am excited to share a review of Coupon Chief - a website that has online coupon codes for practically anything!

With over 250,000 visitors a month, Coupon Chief is a leader in the online coupon field. They have over 50,000 coupons available for over 15,000 stores!

One of the first things I noticed was Coupon Chief's listing of only CURRENT coupon codes. I have found on other sites for coupon codes that they do not remove expired codes, they just mark them "expired" or "not valid". This causes us to have to scroll through all the codes to find current or valid ones to use. At Coupon Chief, they post only current and valid codes. How do they do this? Two ways:

1 - User contribution. You can sign up to contribute online codes through their Pays-2-Share program. When you register a new code and other customers use it, you get 2% back on the purchases! You can even get 2% back on purchases YOU make with YOUR code! How great is that?!

2 - Customer Rating. They allow customers to rate the code, so they are certain they have only valid coupons. Customers can comment, rate and validate codes.

Another highlight I found is that Coupon Chief is very well organized. They have participating stores listed by name that you can search or you can search the list of popular tags on their homepage to find a category of the product you're looking for.

Also, if you are an online store owner, you can also join their network of stores to increase your exposure...for FREE! They indicate that if you sign up your online store you can:

"* Grow your visibility with improved placement throughout CouponChief.com.
* Manage which coupons/promotions are displayed.
* Best of all, it's 100% FREE!"

The only negative thing I have to say is about their widget. This is questionably negative on their part, though, because I'm not sure if it was their html code or my lack of computer skills, but I could not get the widget to appear on my blog. It kept coming up as an empty box/gadget. Again, this could be me...and honestly, if that's the only negative thing I found on their site, I'm ok with that. :) I do plan to include their widget on here once I figure it out.


Overall, Coupon Chief is head and shoulders above the other online code websites I've used. They maintain an organized appearance with only the latest codes, as well as offer an easy and sophisticated way to browse or search for the coupon you need! With the additional perks of Pays-2-Share and allowing you to add your online store, you can't go wrong!

Follow them on Facebook and Twitter! And be sure to sign up for their newsletter and savings alerts, so you can always have the latest codes and the best deals!!
