Why Trust Us: How We Source and Verify Coupons
The Story Behind Our Coupons
For more than a decade, you've counted on us to help you find the best products. That's always been the heart of the Rank & Style story. In 2025, we figured it was time to take that a step further. Because if we're already helping you discover what's worth buying, why not help you save money on it, too?
So we built a dedicated team to do exactly that: source and negotiate the best promo codes and deals and bring them straight to you. After all, finding the best product is only half of smart shopping. Getting it at the best price is the other half.
How We Source and Verify Our Coupon Codes
We've all been there. You find the perfect pair of jeans or the serum everyone's talking about, add it to your cart, and enter a promo code only to discover it doesn't work. It's frustrating, and you've just wasted your time.
At Rank & Style, we aim to eliminate that problem. Multiple people are involved in and have their eyes on the process from start to finish. Every single code is tested by a real person (and fellow shopper) from our team before it goes live. Here’s how we do it.
Where Our Coupons Come From
We get our codes and deals through direct relationships with brands and retailers, exclusive partnerships, and staying on top of what's new. Here's how it all works.
- Direct brand and retailer communication: We have been working in this industry for more than a decade, so we have built strong relationships with brands and retailers. We are in regular contact with them, and they share their sales and promo code information with us. We take that information and pass it straight along to you.
- Exclusive partnerships: We negotiate directly with brands and retailers to secure coupon codes that are exclusive to Rank & Style. When you see "Exclusive" on a coupon, that code is only available here. You will not find it on other coupon sites or anywhere else.
- Daily monitoring: Our team tracks brand websites, newsletters, and social feeds around the clock to catch new coupon codes and deals the moment they are released.
Our Coupon Verification Process
We don't believe in cluttered pages full of coupon codes that may or may not work. Every coupon on our site has been personally verified by multiple members of our team to ensure it works. Here's how we do that:
- Manual code testing: Before we publish any code, we add items to our cart and test the code at checkout ourselves. Then we test it again to be sure. This double-checking ensures the discount actually works, so you don't waste time on codes that don't.
- Fine print review: We read all the fine print so you don't have to. Our team reviews each code's restrictions—like minimum purchase requirements, excluded categories, or expiration dates—and clearly lists them so there are no surprises at checkout.
- Daily freshness checks: Promo codes expire quickly. We review our pages daily to remove expired codes and add new savings opportunities. This keeps everything current.
- Verified badge system: When you see a “Verified” badge on a coupon, it means our team regularly tests and confirms that the code is working. This represents our highest level of validation and helps you quickly identify the most reliable offers.
What to Do If a Code Is Not Working
We work hard to keep our site current, but even we cannot control everything. Sometimes codes stop working, or terms change without warning.
If a code isn't working for you, try these quick fixes:
- Make sure you copied it correctly. It sounds basic, but it happens. Many sites are picky about capital versus lowercase letters, and an extra space at the beginning or end will mess things up. Copy and paste the code exactly as you see it.
- Check the fine print. We know, reading terms and conditions is the worst, but most codes have rules—minimum purchase amounts, excluded brands, new customers only, that kind of thing. Make sure your cart actually qualifies for the discount.
- Sign in to your account. Some of the best discounts are tied to a specific email address or loyalty tier. If you're using a welcome code or rewards-member discount, make sure you're logged in or have entered the email address associated with the offer at checkout.
- Try a different browser or incognito mode. Sometimes cached data or browser extensions interfere with coupon codes. Try applying the code in a private or incognito window, or switch to a different browser to see if that clears things up.
Still not working? Let us know. Use our contact form to report the issue. Sometimes codes expire or terms change faster than we can catch them, and your feedback helps our team investigate and update the site quickly. By flagging issues, you help us keep Rank & Style reliable for every shopper.
Our Coupon Editorial Standards
At Rank & Style, we believe a promo code is only as valuable as the product it helps you buy. That’s why our editors—who have years of experience covering fashion, beauty, and lifestyle—ensure we do more than just list codes. They act as your insider guide to smarter shopping by breaking down when to shop, what to buy, and how to get the best possible deal at each retailer.
Our editors analyze each brand's sale patterns, so you know whether to use a code now or wait for something better. They break down all the best ways to save, from welcome offers and loyalty programs to free shipping hacks. And they walk you through exactly how to apply every coupon, plus what to do when codes don't work (because let's be honest, that happens). They also mark their favorite deal as the “Editor's Pick” and hand-select products they'd actually buy so you can shop with confidence.
This shopping guidance is grounded in the same editorial standards we apply across all our content. Our editorial coverage isn't influenced by commercial relationships—it's based on extensive research into each brand. By combining this brand expertise with our deal-hunting know-how, we make sure you are not just saving money—you are spending it well.
How We Make Money from Coupons
Using our coupon codes is completely free for you. When you click a code and make a purchase, we get a small commission from the retailer. It doesn't cost you anything extra. The brand just shares a bit of their profit with us for sending you their way.
These commissions keep our site running and allow our team to hunt for the best deals every day. But here's what's important—they don't change which coupons we feature or how we verify them, nor do they influence our editorial coverage. We show you the best savings we can find, regardless of what we earn from it. Our goal is to help you shop smarter, and we never push certain codes or brands because they pay us more.
