There are lots of vouchers out there on the web, ready and able to give you discounts.
However, they form distinct categories
Open-to-all Voucher Codes Often as part of promotions in magazines or websites, there are open-to-all voucher codes. Whilst these may be linked to specific promotions, providing anyone can access them, then they're fine to be published here.
Specific Individual Vouchers: These tend to be just for the recipient to use. That means they're not transferable; do be careful you are not in breach of terms and conditions. Sometimes it is possible to use these more than once and distribute them to individuals. Be warned, that is fraud and not condoned or supported by this site. Please do not post such links here.
Trial and error codes It may also be the case that via trial and error people discover voucher codes. This is a difficult territory, as it's tough to work out whether these are accessible or not. Always check the terms of a website and be honest. There's nothing wrong with pushing vouchers to their limits, but breaking terms and conditions is not Money Saving.
Due to this, this board has a source convention.
The 'Source' convention
When you post codes, each and every time please note the 'source' of these codes and the fact that they can be used by all (if they cannot be used by all, but just a closed user group ( then unless that is a large group e.g. only NHS workers, in which case state this explicity) then don't post them.
If someone has not put the source, please do not use them. You could be committing fraud. Firms are becoming more sensitive to misuse of their vouchers.
The best thing to do is question the poster over the source. If no reasoned answer is forthcoming, either ignore the post, or better still report it to the Forum Team via abuse@moneysavingexpert.com.

I hope you save some money.

If you've spotted a deal on this board remember to first use the shopping comparison links in the blue headers at the top of this board to see if you can find a better deal, then check the referrals board to see if you can get an extra discount via a referral link.
Please note that requesting someone to PM you a code, or indeed offering to PM others a code is something that we are unable to allow. As long as your code fits the criteria for posting, as can be seen in > OUR RULES < there should be no reason that you cannot post it on the Discount codes board.
Anyone asking/offering a code over PM will have unfortunately have their post removed and persistent such requests/offers may lead to further action.
Pls be nice to all MoneySavers. There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps. Take care over copyright. Use excerpts and links rather than copying long text. This site asserts copyright on all comments posted on the board.
