The coupon purchase page will let you know the price of the coupon(s) and how long the coupon will remain active (not shown here). You simply choose how many coupons you want to add and how you would like to pay for the coupon. Then click on Purchase Coupon(s). You will then see the coupon's invoice with your total.

Note: Remember, each coupon credit is good for 1 month.Example: You have 15 coupons, each of which is valid for 1 month. If you wish to run a single coupon for several months, you can combine coupon credits.

Once you have purchased your coupon credits, you will be able to submit coupons by completing a short form. Note: If you have chosen to mail-in your payment, you will not be able to submit coupons until payment has been received.

You will need to be specific in your coupon description in the value of the coupon and select the expiration date to be printed on the coupon. For example, if your coupon is only running for one month in our directory, you can still select an expiration date of 6 months in advance to allow visitors to print and keep the coupon till they can use it.

Note: Remember, each coupon credit is good for 1 month.Example: You have 6 coupons, each of which is valid for 1 month. If you wish to run a single coupon for several months, you can combine coupon credits and use the drop down bar to select 6 months now. Or, you could either create 6 individual coupons for 1 month each!
