About Pikadil
Pikadil is a savings platform built around a community of real shoppers who share deals, promo codes, coupons, and honest store experiences.
We combine community contributions with editorial review to help users discover current offers and make smarter buying decisions - all in one place.
Our mission is simple:
Make online savings more transparent and easier to trust.
Why We Launched Pikadil
We launched Pikadil after repeatedly running into expired deals, non-working promo codes, and offers that were difficult to verify.
It was often unclear whether a coupon was still valid or whether a discount was actually available. Finding accurate, up-to-date savings required jumping between multiple websites - and even then, there was no guarantee the offer would work.
We believed a better solution was needed: a platform built around community participation.
When shoppers share deals, vote on offers, and leave feedback, information updates faster and becomes more reliable. Real-world usage signals help surface which discounts are actually working and which ones are not.
Pikadil was designed as a savings community where anyone can not only find current deals and coupons, but also contribute by sharing an offer, leaving feedback, or flagging something that no longer works.
How We Source and Review Deals and Promo Codes
Deals
Most deals on Pikadil are published by members of the community. Shoppers share sales, discounts, and limited-time promotions they discover while browsing online stores and services.
In addition, the Pikadil editorial team monitors publicly available sources, including retailer websites and official company announcements, and may add selected offers that could be valuable to users.
Promo Codes & Coupons
Promo codes and coupons on Pikadil come from multiple sources:
- Community submissions
- Official retailer websites and announcements
- Public newsletters and marketing materials
Some promo codes are reviewed manually before publication. In addition to manual review, we use internal tools to track expiration updates and changes to promotional terms.
Overall Process
Regardless of the source, offers go through an initial review before being published.
Users can also leave comments, report expired promo codes, and flag non-working coupons. These signals help maintain the accuracy and relevance of the information on the platform.
Because retailers ultimately control the terms and redemption systems, availability may change. Community feedback plays an important role in identifying updates quickly.
Our Verification & Review Process
Before publication, deals and coupons go through an initial screening process. We filter out expired, duplicate, and low-value submissions.
Our review includes:
- Evaluating the source of the deal or promo code
- Reviewing promotional terms and conditions
- Assessing stated expiration dates
- Considering user feedback about whether a coupon is working
Despite these efforts, we cannot guarantee that every deal or promo code will work at any given moment, as retailers control their own terms and checkout systems.
For this reason, we rely on community feedback. Users can report issues or flag non-working coupons, which helps us identify updates more quickly.
More details are available in our Data Quality page.
The Role of the Community
The Pikadil community plays a central role in maintaining the quality and accuracy of information on the platform.
Users can vote on deals, report expired or non-working promo codes, leave comments, and share their shopping experiences.
These community signals help identify which discounts are current, reliable, and genuinely useful.
Real-world feedback allows updates to surface more quickly and improves overall accuracy.
Transparency & Editorial Standards
We follow transparent content guidelines and clearly describe how deals and coupons are reviewed and moderated.
Our editorial and moderation process focuses on:
- Accuracy of discount information
- Clear presentation of promotional terms
- Consistency with platform standards
- Identification of potentially misleading claims
We do not allow deceptive promotional practices or artificially inflated discounts. A detailed description of our review standards and moderation process is available in our Editorial Policy page.

How Pikadil Makes Money
Pikadil may use affiliate links. This means we may receive a commission from retailers when a user clicks through to a store and makes a purchase.
The presence of affiliate links does not affect the order of publication, ranking, or moderation of deals and coupons.
