1. Overview — What PromoCodesGCC does
PromoCodesGCC collects the latest discount vouchers, coupons and promo codes for stores serving the GCC (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman). We list deals, test codes where possible, and link you to the merchant checkout — saving you time and money. We may earn a small commission from partner links which helps keep the site free.
2. Shopper flow — step-by-step
Step 1 — Find the right offer
-
Use the search bar or browse categories (e.g., Fashion, Food, Electronics, Travel).
-
Click the deal title to open the deal card — this opens the full details page (terms, expiry, exclusions).
What you’ll see on a deal card
-
Merchant name and logo
-
Offer title (e.g., "25% off sitewide — Ramadan Offer")
-
Coupon expiry: date of expiry or never expires
-
Full terms & conditions + minimum spend if any
-
Button(s): Show Coupon Code (reveals code) and/or Get Deal (takes you to merchant)
Step 2 — Reveal or get the discount
-
If a visible code exists: click Get Code → a modal opens showing the code and a "Copy code" button.
-
If the deal is an automatic discount (no code): click Get Deal to be redirected and the coupon will auto-apply at checkout (merchant dependent).
-
If it’s a tracked affiliate offer: clicking Get Deal may redirect through our tracking link before landing on the store.
Step 3 — Use the code at checkout
-
Paste the copied code into the merchant’s promo / voucher / coupon field at checkout.
-
Confirm discount applied — check item totals, shipping and taxes.
-
If the discount didn’t apply, compare the merchant terms (min spend, product exclusions, new customers only, region restrictions).
-
If everything mismatches or the code is failed but should work, report it (see section on reporting).
3. Where we get codes — sources & collection steps
We gather coupons from multiple sources and annotate each step:
-
Direct merchant feeds: Brands send us exclusive or public coupon feeds (CSV/API).
-
Affiliate networks: We receive voucher links and tokens from networks (tracked offers).
-
Merchant newsletters & social: Promo announcements from newsletters, Instagram, Telegram, etc.
-
User submissions: Visitors can submit codes via our “Submit a coupon” form.
-
Manual research: Editors monitor merchant sites and call support when needed.
For each collected code we log: source, date/time added, merchant landing URL, expiry (if provided), discount details, and any notes about restrictions.
4. Verification & testing — our staged process
To keep the site useful, every code goes through a verification workflow:
-
Auto-check (automated): The system attempts to load landing page and verify the redirect chain and basic code presence.
-
Manual test (human): A team member tests the code at merchant checkout (desktop and/or mobile) when possible. We verify whether the discount applies and note any restrictions.
Refresh schedule: Popular codes are rechecked more frequently (daily/weekly); older/unpopular codes are checked less often.
5. Affiliate links & tracking — what happens when you click
-
You click “Get Deal” or affiliate link.
-
Redirect chain: You are routed through our tracking redirect which attaches a partner ID or UTM to the merchant URL.
-
Cookie / tracking pixel: Merchant or affiliate network may set a tracking cookie to attribute a conversion to our site.
-
You shop and complete checkout. If the sale is attributed, we may receive a commission (this keeps PromoCodesGCC operational).
-
Payout & reporting: Affiliate networks report conversions back to us — we aggregate those by merchant and campaign.
We display an affiliate disclosure in the footer explaining we may be paid for referred sales.
