About Us
Learn how our team tests every discount code at checkout and shows the last verified date, so you only use codes that actually work.

- Step 1 Find We gather codes from merchant sites, newsletters, and affiliate feeds.
- Step 2 Test at checkout A real person enters each code at the merchant checkout to see if it applies.
- Step 3 Stamp the date Codes that work go live with the date we last confirmed them.
- Step 4 Re-check We re-test over time and remove codes that stop working.
The Planet Deals is a small team that finds discount codes, tests them at the merchant checkout, and publishes only the ones that work. Every code on our site shows the date we last confirmed it, so you never have to guess whether an offer is still live.
What we do
We track down discount codes, promo codes, and deals, then put each one through a real checkout before it goes live. If a code does not apply, we do not publish it. When a code does work, we record the date and show it on the page, in plain sight.
How we test discount codes
A real person on our team adds each code at the merchant checkout and watches what happens to the order total. We keep the ones that work, note the date we checked, and come back to re-test them. You can read the full process on our How We Test page.
Why you can trust our codes
- A real person tested the code, not a scraper or a bot.
- The last verified date is shown on every code, so freshness is never a mystery.
- Real shoppers can vote on whether a code worked for them, and we pay attention.
- If a code stops working, we update it or take it down.
Our editorial standards
We hold our content to a few firm rules:
- We never invent prices, discounts, savings figures, or success counters.
- We disclose affiliate links clearly, near the top of every page that uses them.
- We tell you when a live sale beats a code, even when that earns us nothing.
- When we cannot confirm a store policy, we leave it out rather than guess.
How we make money
We earn a commission when you shop through some of our links, at no extra cost to you. That commission never changes which codes we publish or how we rate them. For the full picture, see our affiliate disclosure.
Who we are
We are a small, independent team of online shoppers who got tired of codes that fail at checkout. We are not owned by any retailer, and no merchant can pay us to mark a broken code as working. The people who write and check our pages are credited on their author profiles.
