How to submit an offer to PerkRadar

Found a code in a video, a credits program on a provider's site or a startup deal we do not list yet? Anyone can send it to PerkRadar. You do not need an account. This guide shows where the form is, what to include and how we check offers before listing them.

What you need before you start

  • The product or company name.
  • The promo code, if there is one.
  • A link to the public page where the offer is printed, such as the provider's pricing page, a blog post or a video description.
  • A one-line summary of what the offer gives and who can get it.
  • Optionally, your email address so we can thank you.

Check the offer qualifies

  • The code or offer must be publicly printed on a page anyone can open. We cannot list offers shared only in private emails or chats.
  • No personal referral links. Links that pay the person who shared them, or that only work for one person's invites, are not listed.
  • The offer should be useful to developers, founders or creators: credits, free months, discounts, startup programs or hackathon perks.
  • It should still be live. If the page says it has ended, there is no need to send it.

The provider's own page is the best link to send. It lets us confirm the offer quickly and it is the page we check against.

Send the offer

  1. Scroll to the bottom of any PerkRadar page and click 'Know a great offer?' in the footer.
  2. In Product, enter the name of the tool, for example the company or service name.
  3. In 'Promo code (if any)', enter the code exactly as printed. Leave it empty for programs and credits that do not need a code.
  4. In 'Where you found it', paste the full link to the public page that shows the offer.
  5. In 'What does it give?', describe the offer in plain words, for example the credit amount, how long it lasts and whether it is for new accounts only.
  6. Optionally add your email in the last field.
  7. Click 'Send offer'. You will see a thank-you message when it has been received.

What happens next

  1. The PerkRadar team checks the offer on the provider's own page before anything goes live.
  2. If the details match and the offer is public, we add it to the directory with its terms.
  3. If we cannot confirm it, for example because the page has changed or the code only appears in a private message, we do not list it.
  4. Listed codes stay under watch. Members can report codes that stop working, and we recheck them.
  5. If you left your email, we may get in touch to say thanks or to ask a quick question about the offer. Leaving it blank is fine; the offer is checked the same way either way.

Tips for a submission we can use

  • Send one offer per form. It is easier to check and less likely to get mixed up.
  • Include limits you noticed, such as 'annual plans only' or 'first three months'.
  • If the code is in a video, link to the video itself, not a channel homepage.
  • If you are a company submitting your own program, link to the official program page and describe eligibility clearly.

Before submitting, search /deals/ for the product. If we already list it but your offer is newer or bigger, send it anyway and say so in the description.

Where to look for offers worth sending

Good offers turn up in many places, but they only qualify if anyone can see them on a public page. These are the sources that most often lead to listings.

  • Provider pricing pages and startup program pages, which often mention credits for new accounts, students or open-source projects.
  • YouTube video descriptions and podcast show notes where a tool sponsors the creator.
  • Hackathon pages on Devpost, lablab.ai and MLH that list sponsor credits for participants.
  • Provider blogs and changelogs announcing launch promotions.
  • Public newsletters that print a code in the email's web version.

If a code only appears after you sign in somewhere, it is probably not public. Look for the same offer on an open page before sending it.
