How we verify our discount codes and deals
We don’t just find codes, we make sure they actually work, which is why the Women’s Weekly Deals team manually source, review and verify every discount code and deal before we add it to our pages.
Every code or deal you find on our pages, has gone through a rigorous manual 3-layer verification process – conducted by real humans.
Who tests our discount codes and deals?
Our dedicated Deals team is made up of five experts with industry experience from Thomson Reuters, Finder, Sydney Morning Herald and Money Mag. Unlike automated coupon platforms, our editors manually test every code and physically enter it into the retailer’s live checkout every week.

How we test?
Before we list a deal or coupon code on our pages, each offer goes through a 3-step verification process.
Step 1 – Sourcing
Through direct relationships with brand partners, we often secure exclusive codes for Women’s Weekly readers. Our editors also monitor brand websites, promotional terms and conditions, newsletters and socials, filtering out low-quality codes before they ever reach our pages.
Step 2 – Reviewing
Every offer is tested through a complete real-world checkout. Our editors physically enter each code and confirm the discount applies correctly.
- Cookies cleared before each test
- Guest checkout or logged-in if necessary
- Shipping costs verified
- Discount confirmed at checkout
- Conditions and exclusions noted
Step 3 – Weekly Verification
Once a code goes live, our work doesn’t stop. Every week our editors manually re-check each offer, remove anything expired or invalid, and confirm every deal is still working. When you visit our pages, you’re looking at recently verified offers.
Last updated October 2026 – Our editors verified 921 offers across 67 retailers this month.
