Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on how KrazyDeals works, how to use promo codes, and how to get the biggest savings on Amazon—no fluff.
Quick start / About KrazyDeals
Q:What is KrazyDeals and how does it work?+
KrazyDeals tracks real Amazon promo codes and price drops, refreshes listings throughout the day, and shows your estimated final price before you click through. You shop directly on Amazon; we just help you find the best offers fast.
Q:Where do your Amazon promo codes come from?+
Most codes come from Amazon's official Associates Promo Hub and from sellers who submit to us. We test representative items and label deals 'Verified' when they pass basic checks.
Q:How often are deals updated?+
Continuously. Popular categories refresh hourly or faster. Each deal shows a 'last checked' timestamp so you know how fresh it is.
Q:Do I need an account to use the site?+
No. Browsing is free. Optional features like alerts and saved lists may require a free account when available.
Q:Do you earn commissions (Amazon Associates disclosure)?+
Yes. As an Amazon Associate, we may earn from qualifying purchases. This never changes the price you pay.
Q:Does using your links change the price I pay?+
No. Our links don't raise prices. In some cases a clip‑coupon or code can only be applied after you click—so using our link helps activate the savings.
Q:Why are some deals tagged ‘Verified’, ‘Trending’, or ‘New’?+
'Verified' = recently test‑checked. 'Trending' = high clicks + save rate right now. 'New' = added in the last 24 hours.
Q:Do you list Walmart/Target or only Amazon? (Any plans to expand?)+
Today we focus on Amazon for speed and accuracy. We plan to add other stores over time—watch this space.
Bestseller's Categories
Q:What is the "Best of the Best" category?+
This is our most exclusive collection, reserved for the undisputed champions. When you want the absolute highest-rated and most popular product in its class with no compromises, this is where you look. To earn a spot in this elite category, a product must meet two incredibly strict criteria at the same time: It must be the #1 bestseller in its own specific category. It must also rank among the top 100 most popular items on our entire site. This filter is perfect for you if: You want a proven winner. You're not just looking for a popular item; you're looking for the single product that has outperformed all its direct competitors. You trust the data. This list is curated by the numbers, showing you what thousands of other shoppers have already validated as the top choice in its field. You're buying a special gift. When you need a can't-miss, top-tier gift for someone, the "Best of the Best" are the most acclaimed and celebrated products we offer.
Q:What does "All-Around Winners" mean?+
Think of the "All-Around Winners" as our team's personal favorites. This isn't a list generated by sales data or algorithms; it's a special collection of products that have been hand-picked by our editors. Each product in this category has been selected because it hits the sweet spot of amazing quality, great value, and outstanding user feedback. We're looking for the products that we would personally recommend to our own friends and family. This filter is perfect for you if: You want a trusted recommendation. You're looking for a product that goes beyond just being popular and has earned a genuine stamp of approval from our team. You value quality and long-term value. These are the products that we believe offer the best overall experience, not just the steepest discount. You're looking for a hidden gem. This list often includes fantastic products that might not be a #1 bestseller but are of exceptional quality and have rave reviews.
Q:What is the "Crowd-Pleasers" category?+
The "Crowd-Pleasers" filter is your secret weapon for finding products with massive, proven, and widespread appeal. Think of it as a list of the most popular, trending items on our entire site, specially curated to be great all-rounders rather than niche-specific bestsellers. This filter is perfect for you if you are: Gift Shopping: This is the ultimate gift-finding tool. If you need a birthday or holiday present for someone but aren't sure of their specific tastes, a "Crowd-Pleaser" is a safe and popular bet that's almost guaranteed to be a hit.

It helps you quickly find high-quality, well-regarded products without endless searching. Looking for a "Sure Thing": You want to find a blockbuster, not an indie film. While a product might be the #1 bestseller in a very specific category (like "advanced fly-fishing lures"), our Crowd-Pleasers are popular across many different types of shoppers, making them proven winners for general use.
Finding the best deals (search & filters)
Q:How do I search by category, price range, or discount percent?+
Use the top search bar for keywords and the sidebar filters to narrow by category, final price, and % off. Apply multiple filters to zero in on exactly what you want.
Q:Can I filter for Prime‑eligible, free shipping, or specific brands?+
Yes when available. Toggle Prime/free‑shipping filters and type a brand in search to refine results.
Q:How do I sort by biggest savings vs. lowest final price?+
Use the sort menu: sort by 'Highest % off' for headline savings or 'Lowest final price' to minimize cash outlay.
Q:What does ‘% off’ mean and how is it calculated?+
We show the estimated savings based on Amazon's current list/was price minus all known discounts (coupon + code). Final price on Amazon is always the source of truth.
Q:Why do prices change after I click through?+
Amazon pricing is dynamic and can vary by account, location, and inventory. Sellers also adjust coupons frequently. If a price shifted, try refreshing or checking variants.
Q:Why do some colors/sizes have different codes or prices?+
Variations (size/color) can map to different ASINs. Sellers often limit codes to specific variants. Check the product options listed in our deal card.
Q:Why do I see ‘Out of stock’ after I click?+
Hot deals sell through fast. We recheck and hide OOS items as we detect them, but stock can change minute‑to‑minute.
Q:What is Amazon Best Sellers Rank (BSR)?+
BSR is Amazon's popularity ranking within a category based on recent sales velocity. Lower numbers = higher sales rank. It updates often and can fluctuate day to day.
Q:What is overall_bsr and what is category_bsr?+
overall_bsr refers to a product's rank across all of Amazon (e.g., #3,500 in all Products). category_bsr is the rank within a specific category or subcategory (e.g., #42 in Kitchen & Dining). We show category_bsr when available because it’s more comparable across similar items.
Using promo codes (checkout tips)
Q:Where do I enter a promo code on Amazon?+
Desktop: Checkout → 'Payment' step → 'Gift cards & promotional codes'. Mobile app: 'Order Summary' → 'Add a gift card or promo code'. Paste the code and Apply.
Q:Do codes stack with Amazon coupons or Lightning Deals?+
Often yes, but not guaranteed. Clip any on‑page coupon first, add to cart, then apply the code at checkout to see the combined final price.
Q:Why does my code say ‘not applicable’ at checkout?+
Common reasons: wrong variant/ASIN, seller changed terms, minimum spend not met, region limits, one‑time code already used, or the deal has ended.
Q:Why did the code work yesterday but not today?+
Sellers cap total redemptions or end promos early. Once the limit or end date hits, the code stops working.
Q:Are there per‑account or per‑household limits?+
Some codes are 1 per account. If multiple people share one Amazon account, limits can trigger sooner.
Q:Do I need Amazon Prime for these codes to work?+
No. Codes aren't Prime‑exclusive, though Prime may change your shipping cost/speed.
Q:Do I have to meet a minimum purchase amount?+
Only if the seller requires it. We call out minimums in the deal when known.
Q:Can I use these deals on mobile as well as desktop?+
Yes. Most codes work on both. If you have trouble in the app, try mobile web or desktop.
Orders, shipping, and returns (via Amazon)
Q:Who handles shipping—KrazyDeals or Amazon/the seller?+
Amazon or the marketplace seller fulfills your order. KrazyDeals doesn't sell, ship, or charge you—ever.
Q:How do returns and warranties work for promo‑code purchases?+
Returns follow Amazon's standard policy for the item. Check your Amazon order page for return windows and any warranty info from the brand.
Q:Do third‑party sellers have different return policies?+
They can. Review the seller's store page on Amazon for specifics before buying.
Q:Are refurbished or used items included in your listings?+
We focus on new items. If a deal is refurbished/renewed/open‑box, we label it clearly.
Q:Do these codes work outside the U.S.?+
Our listings target Amazon.com (U.S.). Codes may not work on other Amazon marketplaces.
Q:Which time zone do expiration times follow?+
Expiration is controlled by the seller/Amazon. When we show a time, we use Pacific Time (PT) unless noted.

Yes. Sponsored spots are clearly labeled 'Sponsored' and never change our testing or deal math.

Q:I found a bug—how do I contact support?+
Send the deal link, screenshots, and your browser/device. We'll investigate and reply.
Troubleshooting (fast answers)
Q:The code isn't applying—what should I try first?+
You must first log into your Amazon account. Then you will be able to see the automatic promo code discount applied at checkout. Confirm you're on the correct variant/ASIN, clip any on‑page coupon, meet minimum spend, and paste the full code. If it still fails, the seller may have ended it.
Q:The price on Amazon doesn't match your listing—why?+
Dynamic pricing, taxes/shipping, account‑specific coupons, or a different variant can change totals. Refresh and re‑select the option shown in our card.
Q:The item went out of stock—will it come back?+
Often yes. We'll relist it when stock returns or a fresh code drops.
Q:My code works only for certain variants—what's going on?+
Sellers limit codes by color/size. Check the variant list—we note covered options when we know them.
Q:I missed a deal—can you notify me if it returns?+
Sign up for category alerts when available, or check back on the category page—hot items cycle frequently.
