Basket Check Protocol
Last reviewed:
The two code statuses
Every code on the site carries one of two statuses, shown on its card and in the verdict box at the top of the store page:
- Basket-tested: the code was entered in a Saudi store basket of a stated amount, and the test date and proof were recorded. This badge is given only with a recorded trial.
- Published by the store: the code reached us from the store or its affiliate network, and we show it with its published terms and the date they were last reviewed. It has not been basket-tested yet.
“Terms last reviewed” means we reviewed the text of the terms on that day. It does not mean the code was tried in a basket.
Stages of the basket check protocol
- Source of the code: we take the code from the store or its approved affiliate network. We do not publish codes from coupon sites or forums.
- Entering the code in the basket: items are added to the store basket inside Saudi Arabia, the code is entered in the discount field, and what shows is recorded: did it apply, and is it a discount taken off the total or cashback credited later?
- Limits of the code: the basket amount it was tried on is recorded, along with the minimum basket and discount cap if they show, and the items it did not apply to.
- Store facts: the free-shipping threshold, cash-on-delivery fee, return window, and Tabby and Tamara options are reviewed against the store’s official pages, and the page link is given.
- Publishing: the code is published with its status and test date. The same fields are published on the pages, in
/llms.txt, the JSON API and the MCP server.
How basket examples are computed
Basket examples and the Smart Basket Recommender compute from the published code terms: rate, minimum basket, discount cap and customer type. In two cases no amount is computed:
- A code published as “up to X%”: its actual rate varies by product, so we show no fixed amount.
- A term that is not stated: when the terms give no minimum or cap we write “not stated”; we do not assume there is none.
The final amount is what the store basket shows after the code is entered.
Expired codes
A code whose date has passed moves from the radar to the “Expired Codes Archive” at the bottom of the store page.
Reporting a code issue
If a code does not apply the stated discount, use “Report code issue” on its card. The report reaches us and we review the code and its terms.
