We got tired of fake discounts, so we built a filter for them.
FilterDiscount started in 2021 as a spreadsheet three of us used to stop buying things at "sale" prices that weren't actually lower. It's grown into a small team that tests coupons the way you'd want a friend to: skeptically.
We test, not scrape
Every code on this site has been run against a real cart by someone on our team within the last week. If it doesn't apply at checkout, it doesn't get published.
We show our math
When a "discount" is measured against an inflated list price, we say so. A percentage without context is a marketing number, not a savings number.
We remove fast
Dead codes get pulled within hours of the first report, not at the end of a monthly review. A stale coupon page is worse than no page at all.
A short, honest timeline
The spreadsheet
A shared doc between three friends who kept getting burned by expired mall coupons. Twelve stores, updated by hand every Sunday.
First real site
We put the spreadsheet online so people outside our group chat could use it. Traffic outpaced our ability to check codes manually within three months.
A verification process, not a vibe
We hired our first two deal editors and wrote down the actual rules for what gets published. That document still governs the site today.
380+ stores, one standard
The list has grown. The bar for what makes it onto the list hasn't moved.

We're a small remote team and we hire deal editors a couple times a year.
