How we make money
SaveChase earns affiliate commissions on some of the links you click. This is how we keep the lights on. Here is exactly what that means, what it doesn’t mean, and how to verify our work.
Our integrity rule: we never rank a code higher because it pays us more. Every featured deal is selected on success rate, recency, and editorial usefulness — and every card discloses its source.
Where our codes come from
Every code carries one of three source labels — visible on the card and in the reveal modal:
- Editorial (~40%) — found and tested by our editors directly on the merchant’s checkout.
- Affiliate (~40%) — provided by an affiliate network. We test these too, then assign a success rate.
- Community (~20%) — submitted by users, then editor-tested before publishing.
What we earn
When you use an affiliate code or link, the merchant typically pays us 3–6% of the sale. We don’t get any of your data, billing info, or browsing history — only an anonymous "this came from SaveChase" handshake.
Conflicts of interest
- We do not accept payment to promote a code over another.
- We do not bid on competitors’ trademarked terms.
- We do not retire low-performing codes faster than data warrants.
- We disclose the source on every offer, even if the network would prefer we didn’t.
How to check our work
- Each code shows the timestamp of the last successful test (e.g. "Verified 2h ago").
- Each code shows a denominator — e.g. "87% (412/487)" — so you can see if the rate is statistically meaningful.
- The expired-codes section is public on every store page; we don’t hide failed history.

How we review stores
Every store review on SaveChase reflects hand-testing across multiple orders, login flows, return attempts, and customer-service interactions by our editorial team. We score six dimensions on a 1–5 scale — shipping & speed, returns policy, loyalty & rewards, sale frequency, customer service, and trust & verification — and we publish the justification next to every score so you can see why we landed where we did.
We re-verify every store review at least once a quarter. If a loyalty program, return window, or sale calendar changes, the review is updated and the “last reviewed” timestamp on the hero is bumped. Reviews older than six months without a refresh are flagged visibly until they're re-verified.
Score-to-rating mapping for our Schema.org Review JSON-LD uses the overall (composite) score only — per-dimension scores live in the scorecard table on the page itself, not in structured data.
