Affiliate Disclosure & Transparency Statement

Last Updated: August 21, 2026

At CouponCode.dev, we are committed to complete transparency regarding our operations, monetization methods, and affiliate partnerships. In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and global consumer protection standards, this disclosure explains how we earn revenue while keeping all coupon codes 100% free for learners.

Zero Extra Cost

Using our links never increases the price you pay for any course. Our coupons unlock free access and exclusive discounts.

Editorial Independence

Courses are featured based on educational merit, instructor ratings, and working discounts — never on affiliate payout rates.

FTC & Policy Compliant

We adhere strictly to FTC 16 CFR Part 255 regulations and display clear disclosures across all course listings.

How CouponCode.dev Is Funded

CouponCode.dev is a free, publicly accessible service dedicated to helping students, developers, and professionals advance their knowledge. To maintain high-speed servers, fund automated coupon verification infrastructure, and continuously update our directory, we utilize two primary revenue streams:

1. Affiliate Referral Partnerships

When you click on certain course links on CouponCode.dev, you are redirected to third-party platforms (such as Udemy) with a referral tracking parameter. If you subsequently make a paid purchase or buy additional courses during your session, the platform may pay us a small referral commission at no extra cost to you.

2. Contextual Display Advertising

We display relevant, non-intrusive advertisements through Google AdSense. Ad revenue helps offset platform maintenance costs and allows us to provide 100% free coupon codes without placing any content behind paywalls.

100% Free Enrollments vs. Paid Purchases

We want to be completely explicit about how our coupons work:

  • 100% Free Courses ($0.00): When you use one of our verified 100% off coupons to enroll in a course completely free of charge, CouponCode.dev receives zero commission ($0.00) from that enrollment. We provide these coupons to fulfill our educational mission.
  • Paid Discounted Courses: If a coupon offers a partial discount (e.g., 85% off) or if you choose to purchase other paid courses on Udemy after clicking our link, we may receive a commission based on the final sale price.

Affiliate Programs & Networks

CouponCode.dev participates in select reputable affiliate marketing programs:

  • Udemy Affiliate Program (via Rakuten Advertising / LinkShare): We link directly to Udemy courses using tracked affiliate URLs to earn referral fees on qualifying purchases.
  • Google AdSense: Contextual display ad network operated by Google LLC.

We do not partner with deceptive networks, pop-under ad providers, or low-quality course aggregators.

Our Editorial Integrity Policy

Our affiliate partnerships do not dictate our editorial judgment. We follow strict internal guidelines:

  • We only index courses with genuine educational value, verified instructor profiles, and strong student feedback.
  • We regularly test and purge expired coupon codes to avoid user frustration.
  • We never accept direct payment to publish positive reviews or misleading discount labels.
  • Our search results and category rankings are organized for learner utility, not commercial bias.

FTC Compliance & Disclosure Notice

In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), please assume that any outbound link to a commercial product, service, or course provider on CouponCode.dev may be an affiliate link for which we may receive financial compensation.

Clear visual disclosure notices are displayed across the header and footer of our website, as well as on individual course deal pages.

Affiliate Disclosure FAQs

Common questions regarding our affiliate partnerships and pricing policies.

Does CouponCode.dev earn money when I enroll in a 100% free course?

When you claim a 100% off Udemy coupon and enroll at zero cost ($0.00), CouponCode.dev receives zero affiliate commission. We provide free coupons to fulfill our educational mission and support the learner community.

How does CouponCode.dev fund its operations?

We fund server hosting, continuous coupon monitoring systems, and platform development through non-intrusive display advertising (Google AdSense) and occasional referral commissions when visitors make qualifying paid purchases.

No. Our editorial team selects and indexes courses based strictly on content quality, instructor reputation, topic relevance, and valid coupon availability. We never promote low-quality courses for commercial gain.
