100% Primary Source Verification Policy
How we ensure every single deal, card discount, and coupon code displayed on cutthecost is genuinely active and verifiable by any shopper in Pakistan.
1. Official Primary Sources Only
Every promotional offer, card privilege, and promo code indexed on cutthecost must originate directly from one of two official avenues:
- Official Brand Portals: Directly from verified brand domains (e.g.,
kfcpakistan.com,pk.khaadi.com,dominos.com.pk), mobile apps, or verified brand social handles. - Official Partner Bank Portals: Directly from verified commercial bank discount directories (e.g., HBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah, MCB, UBL) publishing explicit terms for debit and credit cardholders.
2. Strict Prohibition on Third-Party Scraper Aggregators
3. Verifiable Proof Links (Source URLs)
We require an active source_url linking directly to the public promotional landing page or terms of service for every listed offer. Generic domain homepages are rejected as proof.
4. Allowed Verticals ONLY
To keep our inventory high-quality, relevant, and accurate, cutthecost strictly focuses on two verticals:
- 🍽️ Fast Food, Casual Dining, Cafes, Bakeries & Pizzerias
- 👗 Eastern Prêt, Unstitched Lawn, Menswear, Shoes & Denim
- Pharmacies, medical labs, and hospitals
- Grocery stores, hypermarkets, and supermarkets
- Tech gadgets, mobile phones, and home appliances
- Airlines, hotels, and ride-hailing services
5. Community Feedback & Stale Deal De-indexing
Even official promotions end unexpectedly. We empower every visitor with one-tap community voting:
When users flag a deal as inactive, our curation team reviews the primary source within 24 hours. Expired offers are immediately marked inactive (is_active: false) and de-indexed from search feeds.
