About MyVoucherCodes

Our mission

The MyVoucherCodes mission is simple - we want to save you money when you're shopping online. With over 1,500 retailers, 13,000 offers live across our site, and 4.2 million visitors per month, we’ve been one of the UK’s biggest voucher code sites for a whopping 16 years!

We’re proud of the fact that we were the very first discount code website in the UK. With a massive £45 million saved for our users and an incredible 2 million transactions in 2021, that’s an average of £22.50 saved per shopper.

When you see our mascot, Wally, the wallet in the top left of your browser, you can bet you’re not far away from saving a few quid.

Our history

Our team

You don’t go that long in the business without some serious talent behind the scenes. We have some of the UK Voucher industry’s top experts on our team; from people who have spent a decade brokering deals which deliver the best exclusive discount codes for our consumers, to our highly qualified software developers who endlessly fine-tune our technology to make sure your voucher code works properly, every single time.

Commercial team ▼

At the beating heart of the MyVoucherCodes business you’ll find the Commercial team. Using decades of combined experience, they negotiate hard with the UK’s most popular stores to get exclusive discount codes for our shoppers. These deals are bigger and better than your average discount and you won’t find them anywhere else!

Deal experts ▼

Our deal experts are essentially online discount explorers. They scour the web for the best discount codes and deals around and load them onto our website for you to use, for free. Because of our deal experts, on MyVoucherCodes you’ll not only find exclusive discounts, but also a rundown of all the latest offers and sales on the web, all in one place and updated daily.

Category editors ▼

Specialists in their chosen categories, our editors are experts at saving money in a specific area. Whether it’s Technology, Health & Beauty, Fashion, Food & Drink, Home & Garden or Travel, they manage our web pages and produce content that aims to save you money, beyond the savings you get with our discount codes and offers.

Tech team ▼

We couldn’t do what we do without our website. Our tech team are whizzes when it comes to making the voucher code experience nice and easy for you. While our team is made up of people, we also have some clever tech that makes finding the best discount codes a little easier for our deal experts and offers you an even better service at the same time. And that’s all thanks to our tech team.

How it works

With over 13,000 codes and over 1,500 retailers across our site, a lot of work goes into finding the freshest deals for our customers. And there are a lot of people, and some seriously clever tech involved in offering you that discount.

How is MyVoucherCodes free? ▼

We get it. It seems a little too good to be true. Getting money off without having to do anything is a pretty great deal, so what's the catch? The good news is that there is no catch. To keep things running, we have to make money. But the money we make doesn’t come out of your pocket.

When someone uses one of our discount codes or deals, or you click through to a sale, we get a little bit of commission from the retailer. So, you’re getting the saving without any strings attached.

We also make money by offering the retailers we work with the ability to buy some extra space on our website, to highlight their biggest and best discounts. With our front-page carousel, you’ll find a ton of offers that the stores want to get out there.

And that’s how we can afford to pay the salaries of a talented bunch of tech whizzes, savings experts, deal aficionados and commercial colleagues.
