This policy describes the standard every offer must meet before it appears on SlashPass. It exists so readers, stores, and affiliate networks can judge the desk by the same rules.
Sourcing
Offers come from brand newsletters, press desks, reader submissions, and direct conversations with stores. We do not publish scraped coupon lists or automated guesses. If the source cannot be traced, the offer does not ship.
Testing
An editor opens the store, adds a real item to the cart, applies the code, and records what happens at checkout. We note exclusions, minimum spend, and the last-checked date. A code that fails is fixed or retired rather than dressed up as live.
Ranking
Deals are ranked by usefulness: whether the code works, how much it saves, how soon it ends, and how often readers succeed with it. Commission size is not a ranking signal. The full process is described on the verification page.
Paid placements
Some featured placements are paid. They are labelled as paid and are still tested before publication. A paid placement cannot buy a false success rate, a hidden expiry, or an exemption from the testing standard.
Affiliate independence
Some links earn a commission. That money keeps the desk independent, but it does not decide what we recommend. The affiliate disclosure explains the model in plain language.
Corrections
If a code fails or a term is wrong, tell us. We retest reported offers the same day where possible, update the listing, and retire offers that no longer work. Corrections are part of the job, not an embarrassment.
Reader submissions
Readers can submit a deal. Every submission is read and tested before publication. We cannot publish everything, but we do not publish anything untested.
