The discount tiers on this board are ranked by how often shoppers actually copy a code from each one, with each tier's share of live codes sitting alongside — measured from SimplyCodes' code-copy records over the trailing 30 days and rebuilt every day. The order changes as demand shifts.
As of August 12, 2026, shoppers copying promo codes on SimplyCodes reached most often for the 20-29% off tier: 31.3% of 5,444,677 code copies in the trailing 30 days. That tier holds only 21.5% of live codes. Codes worth 50% or more drew 4.4%, the least of any tier.
- The 20-29% off tier takes 31.3% of copies against 21.5% of live codes — 9.8 points more, the widest gap on the board.
- The smallest tier is the most plentiful and the least chased: 1-10% off holds 32.9% of live codes and takes 23.3% of copies.
- Depth is not the draw — codes worth 50% or more take 4.4% of copies against 4.8% of live codes, so demand there tracks availability rather than exceeding it.
Share of copies = that tier's share of every promo code copy in the trailing 30 days · Copies = the count behind that share · Share of live codes = the tier's share of the promo codes SimplyCodes currently tracks, the supply side of the same question · Stores = how many stores had a code copied in that tier.

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. A copy is a shopper taking a code to a checkout, counted once per event — it is not a claim that the code worked. Every copy is matched back to the code it names so we can read that code's discount, then binned into a tier. Two guards are applied before counting: the "Shop" checkout proxy is excluded, and stores averaging more than 6 copies per shopper are dropped entirely, which is the fleet's standard bot cap. Some copies do not record which code was taken. Re-running the tiers over a period when both signals were present puts the tiers in the same order with every share within about one point, so dropping them does not bend the answer. Percentage discounts of 95% or more never enter the calculation. The supply column counts the codes SimplyCodes currently tracks in each tier, which is what makes the demand share interpretable rather than merely large.
