Ever play the video game Portal? It's fun, creative, and complicated. Unfortunately, the only thing the game Portal and Coupon Portals have in common is the frustration that comes with the complication.
Yesterday I posted about the best online coupon sites. But those sites only take you to the main portal. So here's where it gets really frustrating. There are other hidden coupons available that you can't see on the main portal page.
The reason these exist is because certain manufacturers/brands want to offer loyal customers coupons, but want you to have to go through their site to get them. So what happens is you will find a link to a portal coupon, you click on it, and then it takes you to the main portal page to complete the order.
There is a trick to this, that will make it so much easier. Before you click on a portal coupon, make sure you've signed into your account for that site. Then open all the portal coupons you have found in seperate tabs. Check off each coupon but do NOT click get my coupons yet. Once you've checked off each coupon you then, in the last tab, finally click to get my coupons. If you don't do this often you end up with 7 Websaver sites open all with only 1 coupon each and you can't check out because you don't have the minimum 3 coupons needed to order. It can get truly frustrating.
Here is an example of both a Brandsaver and a Websaver portal;

- https://websaver.ca/en_ca/portal/maybelline/
And this is the site I used when I found these;

From now on when I find great portal coupons I will post them in this blog! Happy Hunting!
I like the video game reference.
