When a discount code is real
If the page did not print a code, there is no code. A discount code is real when the page shows the code and the amount off. "Save $40" already inside the price is not a code. Nothing here invents one for you.
The box you keep retrying
Checkout asks for a code. You try the one from a forum, then a guess, then the brand name plus 10. The total does not move, or the page swaps the seller. The minute felt thrifty. It was a stall.
If a code and an amount are printed on the product page, FairRobin can show that code. You still paste it yourself and watch the total. The card cannot see shipping and tax.
The price was already the offer
Some pages shout a savings number that is already subtracted. There is nothing to copy. Exact matches still come first, and no store pays to sit higher because a code exists.
