Would you like to save money when you shop online  by using coupon codes ? If so, then RetailMeNot is all you need to have. RetailMeNot is a coupon codes search engine populated by users with discount codes for your online purchases. Finding a coupon code is just a seconds away, you just enter the URL of the store and you will then be presented with any coupons available for that store. You can also search coupon codes by keyword but I bet URL is the most easy way to find it.

Coupon Code Test Drive - Passed
What I buy online are only those intangible things such as domain names, web hosting, scripts and sometimes eBooks. I did a test to find out if the coupon codes are really available. I search NameCheap (for domain names) coupon codes and yes, the coupon codes are really there. I also search for my three hosts and it’s also been there. Overall, I’m satisfied with the results.

Even though you can only save just a few bucks on coupons, for example in buying domains, it’s a lot if you are a domain reseller purchasing/renewing hundreds of domain every year.

The Bad Thing
Most coupon codes have an expiration either a date, number of uses or whatever the online store implements. But on their copun code submission form, there doesn’t seem to be a field dedicated to this when entering a code. This means that the site will be populated with coupon codes that no longer work or were already expired and is useless. Since there’s no field for expiration, the search function also doesn’t have the ability to search codes that can be used currently.
