Have a question about CouponCabin or confused on how to redeem a coupon? We’ve broken down the most frequently asked questions below. Still stumped? Visit our Contact Us page and we’ll get back to you within two business days.
001 - Using CouponCabin
Is CouponCabin free to use? Is sign up required?
CouponCabin is free to use and signup is not required; however, we suggest that you subscribe to our daily coupon newsletter at http://www.couponcabin.com/benefits/newsletter/.
Once you subscribe, you can set up alerts for your favorite stores and grocery brands so that you get emails every time a new offer is added for those merchants. Add your zip code to receive local coupons and deals as well.
What types of offers does CouponCabin feature?
CouponCabin features online coupon codes; printable coupons for grocery, restaurants and retail stores; daily product deals; freebies; and local coupons searchable by city, zip code or neighborhood.
CouponCabin also features many specialty pages including coupon codes for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, free shipping codes, academic and military discounts, prescription drug discounts and bridal deals among others. Look for limited-quantity or short-term offers posted throughout the day in our Newsflash section.
Can discounts be combined or stacked?
Guidelines vary by merchant, so it’s best to check with them individually for details. Generally, most stores will only allow you to use one coupon per order, but you’re usually able to use a coupon multiple times for multiple orders. Coupons can usually be applied to sale prices and clearance center items, though exceptions may apply.
What does “guaranteed to work” mean? What happens if a guaranteed coupon fails to activate?
“Guaranteed to Work” coupons are tested at least three times a week. Throughout our site, you’ll find these offers marked with gold stars.
If for some reason a guaranteed coupon doesn’t work, we’ll buy you dinner (before placing an order, please make sure your merchandise doesn’t fall under the merchant’s offer restrictions or exclusions).
If you meet the offer conditions and the discount was not applied to your order, forward your order confirmation email to claims@couponcabin.net within 24 hours and tell us which guaranteed coupon you clicked so we can verify the problem.
Once we verify the problem, we’ll email you a $25 gift certificate redeemable at Restaurant.com.
Visit http://www.couponcabin.com/couponcabin-guarantee/ for the complete details.
I see some merchant pages include a feature called “CouponCabin Concierge.” What is that?
CouponCabin Concierge is a hub of useful information and links that appears on select merchant pages.
This courtesy section quickly informs shoppers of whether the merchant offers in-store returns, site-to-store pick up, international shipping and other sales policy information; and provides helpful links to the merchants’ online customer service, store locator, online order tracking, standard exclusions, social profiles and mobile apps.
A coupon I found on here didn’t work or is expired. What can I do about it?
You can click the thumbs down icon next to the coupon, leave a comment on the coupon or report the problematic coupon to our staff by visiting http://www.couponcabin.com/report.htm.
You can also submit new coupons to us at http://www.couponcabin.com/stores/submit-coupon/.
I’m an online and/or brick-and-mortar merchant. How can I add my store to CouponCabin?
Please email contact@couponcabin.com and someone will reply with more information.
Does CouponCabin feature offers for other countries?
Yes. For Canadian coupons, please visit http://www.couponcabin.com/canada/coupons.htm.
For vouchers and other offers valid in the United Kingdom, visit our sister site Save.co.uk.
002 - Online Coupons
What are Online Coupons?
When you shop online, a retailer may ask you to enter an online coupon code at checkout. This code tells the merchant what discount you want to receive.
Online coupons (also called “promotional codes,” “promo codes,” “source codes,” or “coupon codes”) are valid exclusively for purchases placed over the Internet, and are not valid for in-store shopping, although many merchants have both an online presence and bricks-and-mortar stores.
How do I find an Online Coupon on CouponCabin?
These codes are found under the Coupon Codes and Newsflash tabs. Browse these sections, search for codes by merchant name, or shop our special interest pages sorted by categories such as Women’s Apparel; Men’s Apparel; Baby, Kids and Toys; Electronics; Flowers & Gifts; Health & Beauty; Kitchen & Cooking; Pet Supplies and more.
You can also subscribe to our daily coupon newsletter or Top Coupons RSS feed to receive the best and newest coupon codes each day.
How do I use an Online Coupon?
When you find a coupon you want to use, click on the provided link, shop at the merchant’s site as normal, and then enter the provided “coupon code” during checkout.
If a coupon code is not required, your savings will be automatically applied to your order. We suggest, however, that you always verify that your discount has been applied before finalizing your order.
Tip: When clicking an online coupon link, you’ll immediately be taken to the merchant’s site.
What does “no code required” mean? Has my offer been applied?
While some coupons require you to enter a coupon code to be applied at checkout, many do not and are simply activated when you click on the link provided.
We identify these click-through discounts in their descriptions with phrases such as, ‘Just click & you will receive…’ to signify that such coupons are link-based. Any discounts associated with “No code Required” coupons will be activated when you click their links.
I clicked through to an offer that advertised “up to 50 percent off,” but I received a lower percentage off on my final order. Why didn’t I receive the maximum discount advertised on my purchase?
When a merchant advertises a discount “up to” a certain amount, it is advertising the maximum amount of savings one could obtain on select discounted items; however, that is not the discounted price that is applied to every item included in the offer. Offers that advertise up to a certain percentage off may be clearance sales. Clearance sales differ from coupons because the discounts do not have a fixed value, so item discounts vary and the sales often exclude certain items completely.
Why do some offers include the text, “Some exclusions apply; see site”?
It is very common for merchants to exclude a select product(s) or line from a given discount. If you are not in a hurry to purchase a particular item, we suggest you check back soon as the item could be included in future discount opportunities.
In some cases, there may be a threshold exclusion (i.e., you may not have spent enough to qualify for a particular discount).
003 - Grocery Coupons
How do I find a Grocery coupon on CouponCabin?
These coupons can be found under the Grocery and Newsflash tabs. Browse these sections, search for brands by name, or shop our grocery category pages sorted by categories such as Organic & Natural; Canned & Jarred Foods; Dry Foods; Frozen Foods; Meat, Fish & Poultry; Beauty & Personal Care; Medicine; Prescriptions; Baby, Kids and Toys; Pet Care and more.
For select stores, you can add digital coupons directly to your savings card. Visit http://www.couponcabin.com/digital-coupons/ for more details.
How do I use a Grocery Coupon?
When you find a grocery coupon you want, click on the provided link. It will open up a new page where you can then print. Some coupons require additional actions or third party printing software to access; follow the instructions on the new page.
Why do some grocery coupons say “this offer requires third party printing software”?
Some grocery coupons require you to download third party printing software. This software is intended to limit the number of coupons that can be printed per computer. Please contact these third parties with any questions regarding their coupon printing software.
004 - Printable Coupons
What are Printable coupons?
Printable coupons are used for obtaining discounts when shopping at brick-and-mortar retail stores. Printable coupons are redeemable at hundreds of national and regional retailers, as well as at many grocery, drug and dollar stores.
Not all retailers accept coupons printed from the Internet, however, so we advise that you read the store’s coupon policy before presenting a printable coupon.
How do I find a Printable coupon on CouponCabin?
These coupons can be found under the Printable and Newsflash tabs. Browse these sections, search for merchants by name, or shop our special interest printable coupons sorted by categories such as Women’s Apparel; Men’s Apparel; Baby, Kids and Toys; Department Stores; Food & Wine; Home & Garden; Office Supplies; Shoes; Tools & Automotive and more.
005 - Freebies
What are Freebies?
Freebies are free samples or gifts from a retailer, usually in smaller size containers or portions resembling a travel or trial size. Freebies often take the form of food and drinks, recipes, office supplies, magazine subscriptions, movie rentals, stickers, downloads and apps.
Some freebies are delivered by mail and require you to pay a small fee for shipping and handling.

How do I redeem a Freebie?

Many freebies require you to enter personal information such as a shipping address, email address and/or telephone number to redeem the item. Some may require you pay a small fee for shipping and handling.
Freebies that are apps or downloads may have minimum system requirements to run.
006 - Product Deals
What are Product Deals?
The Product Deals section is updated four times a day with the freshest and best daily deals, short-term deals and clearance sale items from a variety of sources. Our savings experts even match these deals with coupons when available to ensure our customers save as much as possible.
