What is CharitableCoupons.com™?

CharitableCoupons™ is the premiere, local website destination to save on deals from top merchants in your city.  We bring you unbelievable savings from restaurants, entertainment, attractions, spas, boutiques, service providers and more. Typically we offer you savings of 50% to 80% off standard prices. With each and every purchase a donation is made to the participating school, church, charity or organization of your choice.   You get incredible deals while giving back to the community.  

How much money is donated back to local organizations (schools, churches, charities, causes, etc.) from each deal?

The donation amount varies depending on the merchant and the offering.  We will always show you the exact amount that will be donated from each purchase before you make a purchase and you are the one who gets to decide which participating organization receives a donation from your purchase.  Our goal is to make the donation significant (alaways a minimum of 30% of proceeds after paying the merchant across all deals) and we will always work to obtain the highest donation amount possible. 

What type of organizations receives donations from each purchase?

There are many different types of organizations that will receive donations back from each sale.  Some examples are:  Schools, Churches, Charities, Causes, Boy Scout Troops, Youth Sports Teams & Clubs, and more. In general, to participate charities and organizations must be authorized 501(c)3-5 and 7-9.

What role do I play in deciding which organization gets the donation from my purchase?

Every time you purchase a discounted deal you choose from our list of participating organizations to receive a donation based on your purchase.  You may want to choose your school or church most of the time and then if you have a child, cousin, nephew or friend in Boy Scouts and they are trying to do a fundraiser for the next month you may choose their Boy Scout Troop for that particular month.  It’s up to you each and every time you make a purchase.   

Why are you taking some of your revenue and giving it back as donations?

Because we want to help the communities that support us all.  We want to become the premier discounted deal website in the U.S. and we believe in giving back to the community and setting an example for other corporations.   In this economic climate charitable donations are in decline.  Donations back to the community are taking a severe hit and we believe this is something we can do to help ease the pain.  Local Merchants get great exposure, you get great discounts and you decide which participating organization receives a donation.  Everyone benefits. 

How does an organization join the website to receive donations? 

Each organization must complete a short application form for us to review.  If you are a school, church, Boy Scout Troop, charity, kid's sport team then it is typically a quick , easy process.  We reserve the right to accept or deny any organization.  This website is a family friendly site and we cater to an audience of people who want great deals and who care about supporting their community and giving back.   Organizations can click here to sign up.   Or call 888-281-(GIVE) 4483

Do I have to sign anyone else up to get the deal?

No.  You do not have to sign anyone up to get these great deals.  When you see how great the deals are and knowing that each deal gives back to your local community then you will probably want to share this with your friends, family, church members or others in your school and community.  Keep in mind if enough people do not sign up for the discounted offering to reach the meet the minimum requirements set by the merchant, then no one gets it. 

How do I get notified about new deals?

You can sign up to be automatically notified by email for each new and all future deals at CharitableCoupons.com™  Simply choose the city that you want deal alert notifications for and enter your email address.  You can unsubscribe anytime you want and you can sign up for multiple cities.

I am having trouble buying the coupon

You must be registered first before you can buy.  After you register you will be sent a confirmation email with a link that you must click to confirm your registration.  Be sure to check your junk/spam folder for this email and please be sure to add us to your safe sender's email list.  If you have already registered and are still having trouble buying the coupon then please close your Internet browser completely then re-open your browser and try again.  If this does not work then shut down your computer, restart it and try again.  This almost always works.

What happens if the minimum number of purchasers required for a deal is not reached?

If this happens the deal is canceled and your credit card will not be charged.

Do I need to use my Voucher the same day I buy it?

No you do not have to use it on the date of purchase.  Most of the vouchers will have an expiration date so please be sure to use your voucher before any expiration date.  All expiration dates will be listed and displayed for each deal before you ever make a purchase and we always make sure there is ample time to use each voucher.  Most of our vouchers are valid for up to one full year so you will have plenty of time to redeem them.

I see 2 charges on my credit card.  What is that?

If you look at your bank account online and see what appear to be two charges for your purchase, you are likely seeing two things: The "actual charge" for the coupon, and the "authorization to charge" for the coupon, which will be removed from your account in a few business days.

How charges and credits work:

When you purchase a coupon, your bank first places an "authorization" for the full list price of the coupon. The "authorization" confirms that you have the credit line, or funds available if using a debit card, to make the purchase.

Following the successful completion of the purchase after the "charge" is processed, the "authorization" is removed from your account leaving only the one line item for your purchase.

Can I buy a deal as a gift?

Yes.  In most circumstances each voucher can be bought as a gift for someone else unless the offering specifically states otherwise.  Make someone happy today and give back to your community at the same time.

Do I have to use the full value of the voucher in one visit, or can I use the remainder later?

Yes, you need to use the full value in one visit, unless the voucher specifically says otherwise. Have your friends or family tag along.  Be a hero for the night.

Can I combine my voucher with other offers?

In almost every case – No, unless the voucher states otherwise. 

Am I billed as soon as I order a CharitableCoupons.com™ voucher?
