Checkout Saver

Overview

Checkout Saver is an independent savings platform that brings together cashback rewards, discounted gift cards, free and one-time use coupons, referral sharing, and a set of shopping utilities under one membership. It was built for consumers who want to reduce online spending without having to dig for hidden coupon codes or install gated extensions. Because the service is self-funded and free to join, it says it gives a higher share of affiliate commissions back to customers than larger alternatives.

Key Features

• Cashback Up to 35%: Members can earn cashback from more than 5,000 retailers, with rates starting at 0.38% and reaching 30% to 35% for select brands. The platform displays store-specific percentages directly on its homepage, such as 22.5% at 1Password and 30% at NordVPN.
• Discounted Gift Cards: Shoppers can buy gift cards from popular brands like Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Gap at below face value, then use them instantly during checkout. The site also purchases unused gift cards from users, claiming some of the highest payout rates in the industry, often around 85%.
• Visible Coupon Codes: Unlike many coupon websites, Checkout Saver does not force visitors to click, sign up, or install an extension to see and copy coupon codes. Free coupons are made immediately visible, and the extension can also surface them while the user shops.
• One-Time Use Coupons: These exclusive OTU codes, which are valid for a single transaction, can be purchased or sold within the platform. This gives members access to unique discounts not found on other aggregate coupon sites.
• Browser Extension: A Chrome extension scans the retailer’s site during browsing, identifies applicable coupons, applies them automatically at checkout, and can also activate cashback tracking. It is free and works without obscuring code visibility.
• Referral Sharing Community: Checkout Saver runs a member-to-member referral network where shoppers exchange referral codes for hundreds of stores. The platform promotes this as a first-of-its-kind community feature, adding a social dimension to savings.
• Plus Four Extra Tools: The service also provides an eBay bid sniper, an eBay won-item tracker, a Credit Lab for credit score monitoring, a warranty and receipt tracker, and a price-drop protection tool, making it a full savings suite.

How It Works

After creating a free account, the user can browse cashback offers, buy or sell gift cards, view coupon categories, or use the referral hub. When shopping through the affiliate link, cashback is credited to the dashboard after the purchase is confirmed. The Chrome extension adds a layer of automation: it tracks the cart, checks for live coupons, applies the best code, and suggests discounted gift cards to use at checkout. For one-time use coupons and gift cards, the platform facilitates the entire exchange process and supports secure payments via PayPal, Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, Tron, and XRP.

Who It's For

Checkout Saver targets budget-conscious online shoppers who frequently purchase from large retail, apparel, electronics, software, and travel merchants. It is especially useful for people who have unused gift cards they want to sell or who are already active in referral code trading. Small business owners, freelancers, and marketers that buy software, office supplies, or shipping services can also benefit from the cashback and discount gift card layers to cut costs on regular business expenses. The platform is built for a general B2C audience, with features that also appeal to prosumers and referral-happy communities.
