How CouponRise scores codes
Last reviewed · CouponRise review desk
Every code on CouponRise carries a trust score from 1 to 99. It starts from the evidence, drops as the last test ages, and moves with visitor ratings.
Why a trust score?
Most coupon sites stamp every code “verified” or “100% working”. We would rather tell you exactly what we know: where a code came from, when we last tried it, and what visitors said. We sum that up in one number you can compare at a glance.
Where the score starts
| Evidence | Label on the code | Starting point |
|---|---|---|
| We entered it in a real basket and the discount showed, within 21 days | We tried it | 88 |
| Announced by the store itself or its official affiliate network | Posted by the store | 74 |
| Passed an earlier test that is now more than 21 days old | Due a re-test | 62 |
| Added but not yet tried in a basket | Awaiting a test | 38 |
| Most people who reported in two weeks said it was rejected | Visitors say it fails | 6 |
What moves it
- Age of the last test: a week after a test the score starts to slip, by up to 18 points, because codes can stop without notice.
- Visitor ratings: once three or more visitors rate a code yes or no within two weeks, we add or remove up to 10 points by the share.
- Our own codes: codes issued to us by the store get 4 extra points because we know their source and terms; they are clearly marked, as we may earn a commission.
The result stays between 1 and 99, so no code is ever “guaranteed”.
How we test a code
- Open the storefront for that country, in its currency.
- Add items that meet any minimum spend.
- Enter the code and check the discount line appears before payment, then cancel.
- Record the date, the discount and the real cap.
Order on the pages
Codes are sorted from the highest score down. No store pays to rank higher, and commissions never change a score.
Updates
We update the site daily: scores and dates refresh, ended codes move to the archive, and visitor ratings are counted.
