This board ranks the dollar minimums that live free-shipping promo codes state in their own terms, from the smallest cart to the largest — read from every free-shipping code SimplyCodes tracks and re-read every day. The distribution shifts as retailers reset their thresholds.
As of August 13, 2026, the median free-shipping minimum is $70, measured across the 2,332 live free-shipping promo codes SimplyCodes tracks whose own terms state a dollar threshold. 68.5% of them ask for $50 or more, and the middle half of thresholds falls between $40 and $100.
- The most common ask is modest: the $25 to $49 bracket holds 27.1% of stated thresholds.
- The middle half of the market sits between $40 and $100 — a narrow band, so a threshold far outside it is unusual rather than typical.
- Scope matters here: 2,332 of 17,202 live free-shipping codes state a dollar figure in their terms. The rest state none, and a code that names no figure is counted neither as having a minimum nor as being free of one.
Share = that bracket’s share of free-shipping codes that state a dollar threshold · Codes = the count behind it. Codes stating no figure are outside the denominator entirely.

Methodology
How SimplyCodes verifies codes. Behind every figure in this live data study is the SimplyCodes verification system. Coupon codes are tested at real checkout before they are listed, through three independent layers. Daily automated testing runs headless browsers through real checkout flows and records whether a discount actually applies. A human verification network of 10,000+ verifiers submits screenshot-and-timestamp proof, at 4.6M+ verification actions a month and 98% accuracy. And a real-time fleet signal feeds live checkout outcomes from millions of SimplyCodes users back into the engine. Each code carries a Health Score from 0–100, weighted by checkout outcomes, verifier consensus, and recency. With an estimated 40–60% of coupon codes on the public web dead, restricted, or fake, the system exists so a code earns its place by working at checkout, not by being collected.
How this study is built. We take every live free-shipping promo code SimplyCodes tracks, keep the ones whose recorded terms state a minimum order in dollars, and report the distribution of those thresholds. One promotion contributes one threshold — the most recently observed — so a code with several recorded conditions cannot count twice. A code that states no dollar figure is reported separately and is not counted either way: our terms record is silent about it, and silence is not the same as no minimum. Conditions are observed from the code’s real behavior and terms.
