Once again, you spoke and we listened! We have had so many requests for the resurrection of the AFC Coupon Database that we finally decided to bring it back! We are certain that you will enjoy using this great resource to further enhance your couponing experience!

As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions on how to make it even better! We do have some exciting new features up our sleeves for this database in the near future, so be sure and watch for it! And make sure you enter all your coupon finds into the database so that we keep it current and useful!

Following is the Coupon Database FAQ which will also be posted in the Let's Talk Coupons forum.

---

What is the Coupon Database and how do I get to it?

The Coupon Database holds coupon information for coupons found around the country. These coupons come from all different sources - Sunday inserts, tearpads, blinkies, etc. and from all different locations. You can access it from any page on AFC by clicking on the Resources menu at the top of the screen.

How/why would I use the Coupon Database?

The Coupon Database is a great resource when you are trading for coupons. Perhaps you use Brand X of peanut butter and would like coupons for it. It is possible that someone in another part of the country got a coupon for it and you didn't - or perhaps they got a different value than you did and theirs is more appealing to you. Once you know that a coupon exists, you can post a thread in the For Sale Or Trade forum saying that you are looking to trade for it. You may not have otherwise known it was available! It is also invaluable for matching up your sale ads with coupons that exist to get the biggest bang for your buck!

How do I find coupons in the database?

When you first click on the database link, you will be presented with a list of all the current coupons (non-expired) in the database. You may then choose to filter the list by entering Search Terms in the fields provided. You only have to enter data into the fields you want to limit the search by. For instance, if you want to find all Kraft coupons, you would just type "Kraft" in the product field and press Search.

How do I enter new coupons in the database?

From the main Coupon Database page, select the Add a Coupon to the Database link. You must be an AFC member to add new coupons to the database. Please follow the Guidelines for entering new coupons shown at the bottom of the coupon entry page.

I entered a coupon but I don't see it in the list. Why not?

If you are a member with less than 100 posts, your coupon entry will go into moderation to be approved before appearing on the list.

What can I do if I see a coupon that is posted more than once or have some other issue with a coupon?

Beside the coupon in the search results, click on the Report icon to alert the Database Team of an issue.

If a coupon is in the database does that mean that AFC has it for trade?

No. Please don't email/PM the admins or other mods asking to trade for a coupon you find in the database. The coupons are entered by all members and they are not necessarily available for trade by anyone. If you find one you are interested in, please post in the For Sale Or Trade forum. However, watch for some exciting new functionality to the database in the near future regarding this.

What do I do if I have an issue with the database?

If you are having problems searching or posting to the database, please post a thread in Contact the Techies and provide as many details as possible about your issue.
