The piggy bank is pretty cool. May I feature him on my site?

If there is an idea you have for featuring the CoolSavings name or images outside of the standard creative parameters we provide, we are certainly open to considering it. Just write to us at affiliate2@coolsavings.com and pitch your idea to us.
 

May I promote specific advertisers or offers on my site?

At this time, we prefer that you not mention specific CoolSavings' advertisers or deals within the content areas of your site. Because of our special targeting capabilities, some of the offers you see (and want to promote) may not be the same offers your neighbors see (since we can target deals by geographic location, or by demographics such as age, gender, income, etc.), so those offers may not available to many of your site’s visitors. Also, since advertisers and offers on CoolSavings come and go every day (some will start and some will expire), the offer you want to feature may expire the moment you begin to promote it.
 

May I offer my visitors coupons and other savings opportunities for joining CoolSavings?

There's really no need to. All of the savings opportunities (coupons, rebates, free samples, etc.) are available right here at CoolSavings. So, by promoting CoolSavings and giving us high visibility throughout your site, you are already offering savings opportunities to your visitors.
