The Sun Vouchers
How The Sun helps you save with discount codes
Through our Sun Vouchers platform, The Sun Shopping team works hard to bring you the best vouchers and offers for your favourite UK stores.
We are constantly updating our Sun Voucher store pages with the very best discount codes, as well as regularly testing our codes to ensure the highest standard.
What we do
Finding vouchers to save you money
With Sun Vouchers, we aim to deliver the same high standards and first-class level of accuracy with our voucher codes as do when delivering the news.
Since launching The Sun Vouchers in 2018, The Sun Shopping team have been sourcing and publishing voucher codes, making it easier for you to access discounts that will help you save on everything from holidays to home essentials.
Our team find you the best savings from almost 800 UK retailers including Marks & Spencer, JD Sports and more.
How do we do it?
Vouchers that are tried and tested
Our team uses their expertise to scour the internet in search of offers, deals and sales that will help you save money at your favourite retailers.
To ensure we deliver the quality you have come to expect from The Sun, The Sun Shopping team regularly tests and verifies every one of the voucher codes in our database.
Where do we find our voucher codes?
With over 8000 codes live monthly, The Sun Shopping team sources our voucher codes from all over the internet and publishes them on our platform so that you can find all your savings in one place.
In addittion to vouchers sourced through newsletters and homepages,
we also work in collaboration with stores and brands to bring exclusive codes and discounts to our readers to be used when shopping online.
How are our vouchers selected?
All The Sun Vouchers discounts are always published with our readers in mind.
To ensure you save as much as possible, we prioritise voucher codes which can be used on a wide range of products and categories.
We try to monitor engagement and satisfaction with our deals and discounts so that we can further curate our discount codes for our users.
These codes are prioritised and placed at the top of the brand voucher page to make them easily accessible to all our users.
How do we test our vouchers?
When a voucher is sourced or provided to us through our close relationships with brands themselves, it is manually tested to verify all of the information is correct including the code itself and its expiry date.
After this, the code is uploaded to our database, available for you to use.
However, our code verification process doesn’t finish there.
The Sun Shopping team is always working to make saving money easier. To do so, our voucher codes are checked regularly for updates or changes.
We also assess our expired codes in case they are still valid to ensure maximum savings for you, our users.
Another way our team works to help you save is through maintaining accurate information on each of our stores.
You can find information about permanent sales, free delivery, student discounts and more on each of our store pages.
Additionally, our team publish guides on all seasonal sale events to help you get everything you need for less.
Disclosure
The Sun is proud to bring you the best voucher codes. As we inform you on every voucher code page, we may earn a commission when you make a purchase using one of our discount codes.
