How we check codes and offers

The labels

Verified Saudi code: a code from our own affiliate programmes. We confirm these codes with the programme every night; the date shown is the last confirmation.

Passed our basket test: we applied the code in a guest basket on the store's Saudi site and the total dropped. The label lasts 21 days after the test, and a dated screenshot sits under the code.

Posted by the store: an offer the store publishes on its own Saudi site, such as a welcome code or a free-delivery threshold. We link to the store's page.

Saudi bank-card deal: an offer published by a Saudi bank, card network or pay-later provider on its own page, with the card, percentage, cap, minimum and dates.

Seen on 3+ sites: the code appeared on three or more independent coupon sites within the last 30 days. We have not tested it ourselves.

Awaiting our check: everything else, including codes readers send us.

Past its end date: the store's published end date has passed, or the offer was withdrawn.

Failed our basket test: the code was rejected in our basket test. The date and a screenshot are kept.

The order on each page

Our verified codes come first, then codes that worked in a basket test, then the store's own offers, then offers without a code, then codes listed on other sites. Expired and rejected codes come last. The answer box at the top of each page always shows the strongest evidence we have. It says "Yes" only for a verified code or one that worked in our basket.

Basket tests

We test on the store's Saudi storefront with a guest basket. We first enter a made-up code that must be rejected; if it is accepted, the test is thrown away. Then we try each listed code, photograph the order summary, and empty the basket. We never complete a purchase.

Some stores block automated visits. Their tests are done by hand on a phone, with the same control step.

Store facts

Delivery fees, free-delivery minimums, return windows, cash on delivery, Tabby, Tamara, mada and Apple Pay are read from the store's own Saudi pages. Each table says when we read it. When a store blocks direct reading, we use the store's own text as shown in search previews and say so under the table.

Bank offers

We read the offer pages of the Saudi banks, the card networks' Saudi pages and the pay-later providers every week. Each offer keeps its end date and leaves the site at 00:05 Riyadh time on the day after it ends. We do not take bank offers from coupon sites.

What we never do

We do not invent usage counters, success rates or star ratings, and we never describe a code as certain to work. We do not show today's date on a code we have not checked today. Reader votes appear only after at least three readers have voted on a code.

Corrections

If a code, a fact or a date on the site is wrong, write to hello@ksa-voucher.com. We fix confirmed errors on the same day and the change appears in the page's change log.
