ValidCodes FAQs

ValidCodes Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. General Information


What is ValidCodes? ValidCodes is a Chrome extension designed to find and apply the best working coupon codes for you at checkout. Unlike typical "free" tools, it is built with a "private by design" philosophy.

How does it work? * Shop as usual: ValidCodes only appears when you are at checkout and codes are available.

  • Click "Try All Codes": The tool instantly tests and applies the best working code for your order.
  • Automatic Savings: It streamlines the process to ensure you get the best price without manual searching.

How much does ValidCodes cost? ValidCodes is a user-funded platform with pricing starting at $2.99 per month.

2. Privacy & Data Security


How does ValidCodes protect my privacy? ValidCodes does not track your browsing history or sell your personal data to third parties. It is designed to provide a "zero ad experience" without the tracking typical of other extensions.


What data is collected? * The platform collects anonymous data on which codes work to improve the service for all users.

  • You can turn off this data collection at any time in the Settings.
  • All browsing remains anonymous, and the tool only requests the permissions it needs to function.

Does ValidCodes use tracking cookies? No. ValidCodes does not drop tracking cookies or change affiliate links.

3. Comparison with "Free" Extensions


Why should I pay for ValidCodes when other tools are free? Most "free" coupon tools monetize your purchase history, which can expose your health, income level, and location. ValidCodes flips this model by being funded directly by users, ensuring their only incentive is finding you the best savings.


Will it interfere with my cashback or loyalty programs? No. While typical free extensions often override or break your cashback by replacing affiliate links, ValidCodes is designed to work alongside other programs and never changes who gets credit for a sale.


How does it find the best codes? Unlike free extensions that may favor "partner" codes (which give the extension a higher commission), ValidCodes has no "house bias" and always applies the code that gives you the highest discount.

4. Support & Compatibility


Which browsers are supported? ValidCodes is currently available as a Chrome extension.


Does it affect checkout speed? The extension is built to be fast and focused specifically on finding codes to ensure it does not slow down your checkout process.
