Coupons.com Has a New App: Here's How to Use It

The Krazy Coupon Lady is an independent service supported by advertising. Most of the offers appearing on our site are from companies from which we receive compensation. We may receive a small payment from an affiliate if you click a link to purchase a product. Sometimes a post is sponsored by the maker of the product, and we receive a fee for the post. Learn More.

Say hello to the new Coupons.com app! Long one of my favorite go-to resources for coupons, the new app makes saving an easy process and getting your cash back even more straightforward. Whether you have experience with the current Coupons.com app or have never even heard of it, this step-by-step guide will help you navigate the new app. Let’s get to it!

 

Step 1: Download or update the Coupons.com app.

Download the Coupons.com app if you don’t already have the app. If you have the older version of the app on your mobile device and have auto-updates enabled on your phone, your Coupons.com app will automatically update to the new version. If not, go update it now!

 

Step 2. Create a Coupons.com account or sign in to start activating offers.

While you can browse coupons, you can’t activate them until you create an account or sign in. If you’re new to Coupons.com, create an account. If you already have a Coupons.com account, sign in with your existing email address. Be sure to add your mobile phone and PayPal account to be eligible to receive cash back.

 

Step 3: Link your store loyalty accounts.

Simplify your shopping trip by linking your loyalty account from grocery stores you commonly shop. You can find these stores in the Redeem tab. Once your account is linked, they’ll take care of everything after checkout – Coupons.com will match your offers to purchases and transfer cash back to your PayPal account once approved.

Step 4: Browse the Coupons.com offers.

The new Coupons.com app lets you browse offers in a few different ways. You can explore or filter by Trending, New Offers, Expiring Soon, or Category (e.g., Baby & Kids, Pantry, Dairy & Refrigerated, etc.). If you’re looking for a specific item, search for it using the search bar.

PRO TIP: Coupons.com is always adding new offers, so check back often.

 

Step 5: Activate a Coupons.com cash back offer.

Tap on an offer product image to learn more about the offer details or tap the “+” sign to activate a cash back offer. Offers can be used at almost any store.

PRO TIP: You don’t need to specify a store before activating your savings.

 

Step 6: Start shopping your favorite retailers.

Once you add all the Coupons.com cash back offers you want, you’re ready to shop. Use the My List tab to easily see all your offers. Cash back offers are valid at most stores that provide an itemized receipt such as grocery stores, convenience stores, and online delivery and pickup orders.

PRO TIP: An itemized receipt shows the name of the store, date, everything you purchased, the price of each item, total of bill, and method of payment. Visit the Coupons.com Help Center to learn more.

 

Step 7: Redeem your Coupons.com savings.

If you’ve visited a store and have linked your store loyalty card, you will receive your cash back shortly once Coupons.com approves the transaction.

If you plan to visit a store without a loyalty card, keep your receipt and submit it through the Redeem tab. Search a store or find it in the list, then tap ‘Submit Receipt’ to take a clear picture of the entire receipt. For any eligible offers, scan the barcode of those products to complete the process. Once approved, cash back will be deposited to your PayPal account within a week.
