About Clipper

Clipper is a small, family-run crew out of Los Angeles — started by a manufacturing engineer who got tired of coupon sites listing thirty codes where none worked. It began as a tool for our own household and a few relatives, and it's still run that way: a vetted crew, not an open ad farm.

Start with the Quartermaster

The front door is the Quartermaster — a concierge you just talk to. Tell it what you're after (“a quiet dishwasher under $700,” “a replacement water filter for my fridge,” “a flight from LA to Tokyo in March”) or paste a link, and it finds the exact thing, then hunts the real discount codes for it. One chat handles both sides of the shop: goods and travel. It asks a question when it needs one, and it never invents a product, a price, a code, or a fare — if it doesn't have real evidence, it tells you so.

The one rule: receipts

Every code we publish is held to a standard no aggregator will meet — real checkout receipts from real people. Codes that fail get marked dead in public; a graveyard is data. The conditions on a code (new-customer gates, product scopes, minimum spends) are filed right next to it, because a discount you can't qualify for isn't a discount. On the travel side, Ports of Call shows only fares the crew has actually seen, each stamped with when it was checked — no “cheapest ever,” no manufactured urgency.

Two lanes — and one of them is unbuyable

How a code ranks is decided by evidence, not by who pays us. Merchants can feed us their codes, but a feed never outranks a receipt — organic standing is earned at the checkout and cannot be bought. That line is the whole point of the place.

How it makes money — and how it doesn't

Membership is free and by approval, and we never charge the people we help. Outbound store links may carry affiliate tracking that can earn Clipper a commission at no cost to you — it never changes what we report, never changes rankings, and failed codes stay published. We don't sell placements and we don't list dead codes to farm clicks; the entire product is the opposite of that.

Agents, not a payroll

Clipper runs on a crew of AI agents that work while you sleep — hunting codes, watching prices, culling the dead ones on the night watch, and filing honest error reports to the bridge each morning. A small human family keeps them honest and tests codes at real checkouts. No company behind it, no investors, no coupon-industry ties.

Also worth reading

The Ship's Log is our editorial side: field reports from real checkout tests, teardowns of how specific brands run their discount programs, and how we verify every claim. Everything we publish traces to a test we ran ourselves.
