DealCatcher.com is a must-visit website for online shoppers. This very useful resource features the latest and greatest deals and coupons that are available on the Internet. If you shop online without checking DealCatcher first, you're missing out on a whole bunch of savings!
Unlike some other savings websites I have seen, DealCatcher doesn't just dump the all the coupon codes on a single webpage and leave it at that. It is, infact, quite user-friendly and well-organized. Deals and coupons can be searched through by category, worth, newness factor or expiry date. For example, if you enter the "Books & Magazines" category, you will find a listing of around thirty vendors with some coupon codes or deals indexed under their names. Searching by worth will show you all the top deals, searching by expiry date will bring you deals that are going to end soon, and so on.
DealCatcher brings online shoppers promotions and discounts from over 400 online merchants and so you will definitely find something for yourself here. I have used coupon codes provided by DealCatcher for shopping at Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble and GAP without a single hitch, and there are also deals and coupons for merchants like BestBuy, Staples.com, OfficeDepot, Dell and more. Most of the deals/coupons go along the lines of "$5 off your purchase of $10 or more" but a lot of them also give you free shipping or a percentage-discount of your order. But all of them, regardless of what they're for, are very up-to-date and have always worked for me.
When you click on a coupon-code link, you will be taken to the merchant's website in a frame page. The coupon code, its expiry date and the name of the merchant, along with other deals the merchant may be running, will be shown on the top of the screen. If you don't like this frame hindering your shopping, you can copy/paste the coupon code and click the "Remove Frame" link to make it go away.
"Tell A Friend" is a useful tool if you want to tell someone about a good deal. Up to five people can be notified at a time, your message can be customized and, besides that, you're entered to win a $25 Gift Certificate. The more people you "tell", the greater the chance you have of winning.
And that's not all --- Powered by Valpak.com, DealCatcher now also features offline coupons! All you have to do is enter your zip code (US) and you'll get an extremely long list of coupons that you can print out. I found something for my local Domino's Pizza, Subway and KFC here.
Best of all, you don't have to sign up for anything to gain access to the coupon codes! DealCatcher is completely free. There is a weekly email newsletter in which you're sent new deals and coupons, but it's totally opt-in and only helps you go further in your savings quest. Subscribing to the newsletter gives you a chance to win a $100 gift certificate. Also, if you're a webmaster, DealCatcher will pay you 35 cents for every active member that signs up for their newsletter through your website.
So before checking out with an un-needed expense, catch some coupon codes at DealCatcher.com.
