🛡️ Editorial Independence

FatSaver’s editorial content is made independently of our advertising and affiliate relationships. The people who decide what gets published, how content is ranked, and which codes are verified are separate from the people who manage commercial partnerships.

In practice, that means:

  • 🚫
    Brands cannot pay for placementNo brand can pay to appear higher in search results, store listings, or deal rankings on FatSaver. Placement is determined by relevance and deal quality — not budget.
  • 🚫
    Brands cannot influence verificationHaving an affiliate relationship with FatSaver does not mean a brand’s codes receive preferential verification. Non-working codes are removed regardless of the commercial relationship. See our full coupon verification process.
  • 🚫
    Brands cannot remove unfavorable contentIf a store has a history of expired codes or poor deals, that information is reflected in our content. Paying us does not change that.
  • ✅
    Editors declare conflicts of interestNo editor may review, write about, or verify codes for a brand with which they have a personal or financial relationship. Conflicts must be declared and the assignment passed to another team member.

Why this matters to you: If our editorial decisions were influenced by commercial relationships, we’d end up showing you codes that don’t work and deals that aren’t deals. That would destroy the trust that makes FatSaver useful. Independence isn’t an ethical nicety — it’s what makes the product work.

💸 Affiliate Disclosure

FatSaver earns revenue through affiliate partnerships. When you click an outbound link to a retailer from FatSaver and complete a purchase, we may earn a commission. This costs you nothing extra — the price you pay at the retailer is exactly the same whether you arrived from FatSaver or typed the URL directly.

We are members of the following affiliate networks and programmes:

Awin Awin Impact Impact CJ Affiliate CJ Affiliate Rakuten Rakuten Advertising ShareASale ShareASale Amazon Associates Amazon Associates

This disclosure complies with the FTC’s Endorsement and Testimonial Guidelines and equivalent regulations in the UK and EU. Affiliate links are used across the site — you do not need to look for a separate disclosure notice on individual pages.

Our commercial alignment
We earn when you save — that’s the only alignment that works
Our affiliate commissions come from completed purchases, not from clicks or impressions. That means we only get paid when you actually found a deal worth taking. If we show you broken codes or misleading offers, you stop completing purchases — and we stop earning. Our financial incentive and your interest in finding real savings point in exactly the same direction.

🎯 Accuracy & Corrections

We aim for accuracy on every page — correct discount percentages, live coupon codes, up-to-date brand descriptions, and accurate store information. When we get something wrong, we want to know and we fix it fast.

Report the error
Email contact@fatsaver.com with the page URL, what’s incorrect, and what the correct information is. You can also use the Contact page.

We investigate within 24 hours
A member of our editorial team reviews the report, independently verifies the claim against primary sources, and determines whether a correction is warranted.
3
Correction published within 48 hours
Verified errors are corrected within 48 hours of confirmation. The page is updated and the dateModified timestamp is refreshed.

Coupon codes specifically: Expired or non-working codes are treated as urgent corrections and actioned within 24 hours of any report. Read our full coupon verification policy for more detail.

🔎 Sourcing Standards

Every factual claim on FatSaver — discount percentages, store descriptions, brand information, pricing — is sourced from at least one of the following primary sources:

  • 🤝
    Direct merchant communicationsAffiliate programme portals, brand affiliate managers, and direct merchant communications are our highest-priority source for discount rates and promotional details.
  • 🌐
    Official brand websites and press materialsStore descriptions, pricing, and product information are verified against the brand’s own website and official press releases.
  • 🧪
    Editor-conducted testingCoupon codes are personally tested by editors at real checkouts. Price tracking is conducted by our team directly on retailer websites.
  • 👥
    Verified reader submissionsCodes and deals submitted by readers via our Submit a Deal page are treated as leads, not sources. They are independently verified by an editor before publication.

We do not republish information from other coupon or deal aggregator sites without independent verification. We do not use unverified social media posts as a sole source for factual claims.

🤖 How We Use AI

We believe in being transparent about how AI tools are used in our content production. Here is an honest account of where AI helps us and where human editors remain solely responsible.

✅ Where we use AI
Research assistance and topic exploration
Generating first drafts for editorial review
Organising large data sets (e.g. store categories)
Summarising affiliate programme terms
Checking grammar and readability
✗ What AI never does alone
Publish content without human review
Verify coupon codes at checkout
Make editorial placement decisions
Write correction notes or bylines
Auto-update “Last Verified” dates

Every page published on FatSaver is reviewed, fact-checked, and approved by a named human editor before it goes live. If an AI tool generates a draft, the editor’s job is to verify every factual claim, adjust the tone, and take editorial responsibility for the final content. The byline reflects that responsibility.

Why we disclose this: Hiding AI involvement in content production is increasingly common — and increasingly distrusted. We think transparency about our tools is the only honest approach. The standard we hold ourselves to isn’t “did a human type every word” — it’s “did a responsible human verify every claim and stand behind every word.” That standard is met on every published page.

✍️ Author Bylines & Review Cycles

Every article and editorial page on FatSaver carries a byline showing which editor wrote or last updated it. Bylines include the editor’s name, role, and the date the content was last reviewed.

Our content review cycle works as follows:

  • 📅
    High-traffic store pagesReviewed and re-verified monthly, or immediately when a significant promotion changes.
  • 📅
    Editorial articles and guidesReviewed quarterly, or when an underlying fact changes (e.g. a brand updates its affiliate terms).
  • 📅
    Policy pages (including this one)Reviewed bi-annually or whenever a material change to our practices occurs.

The dateModified field in our page metadata always reflects the date of the last substantive editorial review — not just a technical update to the page.

👥 Reader Submissions

We welcome coupon codes, deals, and discount information submitted by our community through the Submit a Deal page. Submissions help us surface deals faster and cover more stores than our editorial team could monitor alone.

However, every reader submission is treated as an unverified lead until an editor independently confirms it. We never auto-publish reader-submitted codes. The verification steps are identical to any other code we publish — real cart, real checkout, real confirmation.

Submitted opinions, reviews, or comments are clearly labeled as community contributions and are not presented as FatSaver editorial opinions.

Spotted a deal we’re missing? Submit it here — we review all submissions within 48 hours and credit verified community submissions with a “Community Find” label on the listing.
