Who Manages LA Times Coupons?

For decades, coupons have been an integral part of newspapers around the world. The same is true for LA Times, and nowadays our coupons have transitioned to the digital format found on our website.

At the Los Angeles Times, we're committed to helping you save money, but we recognize that we can’t always accomplish this on our own. For our coupon section, we partner with Savings United to pinpoint brands that align with the Los Angeles Times’ audience and bring our readers up-to-date discounts, promotions, and coupons online.

Our partnership combines our content expertise with the couponing expertise of Savings United. Together, we ensure that every deal featured is carefully vetted by both teams for quality and relevance to provide our readers with a safe and enjoyable coupon-hunting experience.

Thanks to a collaborative effort between the Los Angeles Times and Savings United, we are able to offer exceptional discounts and deals that meet the high-quality content standards that the Los Angeles Times is known for.

This is how we work together to customize our coupon offerings:

• We work together to find brands that align with the interests and values of the Los Angeles Times audience. For example, we feature brands like The Home Depot, Express, and Priceline.
• Savings United negotiates exclusive offers with select advertisers using their industry knowledge.
• We create and display product categories that are consistent with the Los Angeles Times readers' interests.
• Our team at the Los Angeles Times reviews the deals and selects which ones to display.
• Los Angeles Times and Savings United staff conduct compliance checks to verify the coupons work and are appropriate for the Los Angeles Times audience.
• We pick a small selection of deals that we showcase to our visitors.
• Our Commerce team oversees the Coupon content. This involves regularly conducting quality checks for links and content.
• Coupons titled "Selected by L.A. Times Team" are handpicked by the Los Angeles Times authors, Blake Esken and Kailen Locke as our top recommendations from a brand for visitors for guaranteed savings.

We might earn a small commission if you use our discount codes to make an online purchase.

Our team works closely with brands and affiliate networks to negotiate exclusive vouchers, codes, and discounts. These offers contain special markers that let brands know they came from the Los Angeles Times. When you use one of our featured deals to make a purchase, you get the best deal and we get paid a commission. We also publish vouchers and discounts from some retailers who do not pay us, but we do it because we want to provide you with the best ways to save money.

When it comes to offering you the best deals, trust and transparency are our top priorities. We follow a two-factor verification process in which team members from the Los Angeles Times and Savings United manually verify all discount codes to ensure they are valid and up-to-date.

Up-to-date Coupons and Offers

Our team of experts works daily to source discount codes for the best current sales. We constantly refresh thousands of codes across hundreds of pages on the Los Angeles Times website and ensure we stay up-to-date and communicate the latest promotional trends to our readers.

Exclusive Codes

Our team of Account and Partnership managers negotiates exclusive deals with your favorite brands daily. Through our collaboration with Savings United, the Los Angeles Times manages to provide you with exclusive discounts that are only available for a limited time. “Exclusive codes”, “exclusive deals” and “exclusive offers” can refer to offers that are exclusive to Savings United, or to offers that are exclusively found on the Los Angeles Times website. Regardless, we share deals that are exclusively negotiated by our team and therefore we provide users with niche offerings that may not be available elsewhere.

Quality Assurance

Quality assurance is a top priority, especially regarding the offers featured on our site.

Here's how we maintain standards:

1. Prioritization of quality: We always prioritize the quality of offers showcased on our platform. Each deal is carefully curated by Savings United and The Los Angeles Times team to ensure it meets our standards of offering value for the user and providing deals that function as promised.
2. Quality testing: Before featuring any code or offer, staff from the Los Angeles Times and Savings United conduct testing to verify each code is relevant and functions properly.
3. Adherence to our ethics guidelines: We adhere strictly to our Los Angeles Times ethics guidelines to ensure our content is of the highest quality.
4. Content responsibility: The Los Angeles Times team is invested in ensuring all content found in our Coupons section meets the rigorous quality standards the Los Angeles Times is known for. We review all content at the time of posting to ensure its accuracy for our users.
5. Dealing with non-functional codes: If you find a code that doesn't work, please consult our coupon codes guarantee page for tips on how to troubleshoot each deal. If you believe the code has expired or need further assistance, our staff at the Los Angeles Times is available to support you. While we stand by the accuracy of our codes, it’s important to note that we have a team of real people behind our quality controls and human errors are possible. Please feel free to report any issues to coupons@latimes.com with details of the problem you are experiencing, and a member of our staff will review your request in a timely manner.

We're committed to providing our users with a seamless and rewarding experience, and your feedback helps us continually improve.
