Editorial Policy & Quality Standards

Our Editorial Policy & Quality Standards explain how coupon content on our website is created, reviewed, maintained, and governed.
This page exists to provide full transparency into our editorial decision-making and to ensure users understand why our coupon codes, deals, and savings information can be trusted.

We believe saving money online should be simple, honest, and frustration-free. That belief shapes every rule and process outlined below.


Our Editorial Mission

MamaSV mission is to help shoppers save money using accurate, clearly explained, and responsibly published coupon codes.
We do not aim to publish the largest number of coupons — we aim to publish the most reliable ones.

To achieve this, we focus on:

  • Accuracy over quantity

  • Transparency over exaggeration

  • Long-term user trust over short-term clicks

Every editorial decision is made with the user’s real shopping experience in mind.


Human-Reviewed Content – No Automated Publishing

All coupon content published on our website is reviewed and approved by a human editor.

While technology may assist in discovering potential offers, no coupon code is published automatically. Automation never replaces editorial judgment.

This means:

  • No scraper-based publishing

  • No unverified forum codes

  • No instant auto-posting

A coupon only goes live after it meets our editorial approval standards.


How We Source Coupon Codes

We source coupon codes from reliable, verifiable channels only. These include:

  • Official retailer promotions

  • Brand newsletters and email campaigns

  • Verified affiliate platforms such as Awin, CJ Affiliate, Impact, and Partnerize

  • Seasonal sales events and brand-announced campaigns

  • Direct confirmations from retailers where available

We do not publish:

  • Randomly generated codes

  • Internal or employee-only discounts

  • Unconfirmed “leaked” offers

For a detailed breakdown, users can refer to our dedicated How We Find & Verify Coupon Codes page.


Our Coupon Verification Standards

Before any coupon is published, it is checked against strict verification criteria.

Depending on technical feasibility, verification may include:

  • Manual testing at checkout

  • Validation of expiry dates

  • Review of usage conditions (new users, minimum spend, exclusions)

  • Regional eligibility checks

  • Product or category restrictions

A coupon marked as “verified” reflects recent editorial confirmation, not an assumption of perpetual validity.

More detail is available on our How We Verify Coupon Codes page.


Publishing Rules & Approval Criteria

A coupon is approved for publication only if it meets all of the following conditions:

  • Comes from a trusted or official source

  • Has clear and understandable terms

  • Is not misleading or exaggerated

  • Aligns with the retailer’s published policies

  • Offers real, user-accessible value

We reject coupons that:

  • Cannot be reasonably verified

  • Contain unclear or deceptive wording

  • Are known to be expired or restricted

  • Violate retailer or network guidelines


Update Frequency & Ongoing Quality Audits

Coupon content is continuously monitored and reviewed.

Our editorial process includes:

  • Regular audits of active coupon listings

  • Monitoring user feedback and performance signals

  • Flagging codes that show declining reliability

  • Increased checks during peak shopping seasons

This ensures that coupon pages remain current, relevant, and useful, not outdated archives.


Removal & Correction Policy

Accuracy is more important to us than volume.

We remove or correct coupons when:

  • They are confirmed expired

  • Terms change significantly

  • User feedback indicates consistent failure

  • A retailer ends or withdraws an offer

Corrections are made promptly once verified. We do not intentionally leave misleading coupons live.


Expired Coupons & Historical Transparency

In some cases, expired coupons may remain visible for reference purposes. These are clearly labeled as expired.

We do this because:

  • Some users successfully test recently expired codes

  • Historical data helps users understand promotion patterns

  • Transparency builds trust

Expired coupons are never presented as guaranteed savings and are visually distinguished from active offers.


Editorial Independence & Brand Neutrality

Our editorial team operates independently of revenue considerations.

This means:

  • Brands cannot pay for higher placement

  • Commission rates do not determine ranking

  • Visibility is influenced by freshness, clarity, and likelihood of success

Our goal is to present savings opportunities based on usefulness, not financial incentives.


Affiliate & Revenue Disclosure

We may earn a commission when users use a coupon or link from our site.
This does not increase the price paid by the user.

Affiliate revenue allows us to:

  • Keep access free

  • Invest in verification and editorial review

  • Maintain up-to-date coupon databases

Commissions never influence which coupons are approved or how they are ranked.


User Feedback & Community Signals

User feedback plays an important role in maintaining quality.

We use:

  • “Did this code work?” responses

  • Performance trends over time

  • Manual review of feedback where needed

Feedback is moderated to prevent abuse and is used to improve accuracy, not inflate success claims.


Regional Accuracy & Localization Standards

We operate across multiple regions and languages.
Coupon validity often depends on geography.

Our editorial standards include:

  • Country-specific verification

  • Local currency and language accuracy

  • Awareness of regional restrictions

  • Clear labeling when offers are location-limited

A coupon valid in one country may not work in another — we aim to communicate this clearly.


Ethical Standards & Prohibited Practices

We explicitly prohibit the following practices:

  • Paid coupon placement

  • Fake urgency or countdown timers

  • Forced redirects or deceptive buttons

  • Clickbait discount claims

  • Selling or misusing user data

Our editorial integrity depends on user trust — we do not compromise it.


Security, Privacy & User Protection

We prioritize user safety.

  • No account is required to use coupons

  • We do not collect payment information

  • Redirects lead directly to official retailer websites

  • Cookies are used responsibly and transparently

We comply with applicable data protection and privacy regulations.


Editorial Accountability & Contact

Our editorial standards are overseen by an experienced content and compliance team.

If you believe a coupon is inaccurate, misleading, or outdated, we encourage you to contact us.
We review all legitimate correction requests seriously and act when verification supports the claim.

Transparency and accountability are core to how we operate.


Final Note
