Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about how Fyndare works — verification, success rates, and how we keep the lights on.
What is Fyndare?
Fyndare is a coupon and promo-code site built around verification. Every code shows when it last worked and its community success rate, so you can judge reliability before you try it. The name comes from the Swedish word "fynd" — a great find or bargain.
What does "fynd" mean?
"Fynd" is Swedish for a great find — a bargain or treasure you uncover. In Sweden it isn't just a discount; it's the thrilling moment of discovering something valuable. Fyndare ("the finder") is built to give shoppers that feeling at checkout.
How do you verify coupon codes?
Two ways. First, shoppers vote on every code — "did this work?" — and those votes update each code's success rate and last-worked date in real time. Second, automated freshness checks deactivate codes past their expiry date. Codes are ranked by a confidence score that combines success rate, how recently a code was confirmed working, and listing recency.
Why do some coupon codes not work?
Retailers retire codes without notice, restrict them to specific items or customers, or cap redemptions. That's why every code here shows its recent track record instead of pretending everything works. Recently expired codes are labeled as such — retailers sometimes honor them past the listed end date.
Is Fyndare free? Do I need an account?
Yes, completely free, and no account is needed. There are no pop-ups, no email walls, and no registration barriers — find a code, copy it, use it.
How does Fyndare make money?
Through affiliate commissions: when you buy after clicking a store link, the retailer may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects which codes we show or how they rank — ranking is driven by verification data. Full details are on the affiliate disclosure page.
How often are codes updated?
Continuously. Community votes update success rates in real time, expired codes deactivate automatically, and the catalog syncs with partner affiliate networks daily. Store pages show a last-verified date on each code.
What is the success rate shown on codes?
The share of shopper votes reporting that the code worked, out of all votes on that code. A code showing "90% success (30 votes)" worked for 27 of the 30 shoppers who reported back. New codes start unrated rather than with an invented score.
