Every coupon on Deal Marina goes through a four-step verification process before it appears on this site, and every active code is re-checked weekly to make sure it still works.
1. Source check
We pull candidate codes from retailer email programs, official social posts, loyalty-program announcements, and trusted submission channels. We do not scrape user-submitted "comment" codes from other coupon sites — those are the most common source of dead codes on the web.
2. Offer check
Each candidate code is checked against the retailer's current published terms and promotions. We confirm the discount described is still active, that there are no hidden category exclusions beyond what the terms state, and that the expected savings match what the retailer advertises.
3. Terms documentation
We document the full terms — minimum order amount, category exclusions, single-use vs. multi-use, expiration date, geographic restrictions. These appear on the coupon detail page so there are no surprises at checkout.
4. Weekly re-verification
Every Monday morning, our team re-checks all active codes against the retailer's current terms and offer pages. Codes that fail are removed from the public listings within hours. We also act on user reports — if a code stops working between weekly checks, our verification team is alerted and re-checks it within 4 hours.
This is more work than just re-publishing whatever appears on aggregator sites, but it is the difference between coupons that actually save you money and coupons that waste your time at checkout.
