Use trusted destinations
When a coupon page sends you to a merchant, check the destination domain before signing in or paying. Be cautious of lookalike domains, unexpected downloads and pages that ask for unrelated personal information.
Never share authentication secrets
A coupon does not require you to share an OTP, account password, full card details or UPI PIN with a coupon publisher. Enter payment details only on the legitimate payment or merchant flow you intended to use.
Check the actual offer
Read the conditions and verify the discount in the merchant's checkout. Treat unverified listings as leads to investigate, not as a promise of savings.
Understand referral links
Some deal websites may earn a commission when a visitor makes a qualifying purchase through a link. Clear disclosure helps users understand how the website may be funded.
