The weekly code report: what changed in the tracker
More offers arrived this week than are set to lapse, and the categories that discount hardest are not the ones carrying the most offers.
The tracker took in 4,541 offers over the last seven days, published by 1,327 retailers. Every figure here is fixed to the sync this report was written from, so the numbers and the reading of them stay matched.
What arrived, and what is about to leave
Against those arrivals, 3,272 offers across 499 retailers reach their end date inside the next week. The corpus is not growing so much as breathing: the same handful of retailers publishes, expires and republishes on a fixed promotional calendar.
4,198 offers currently cut half the price or more, spread across 1,675 retailers. That is the pool worth watching if you are waiting rather than buying.
Which categories discount hardest
Averaging the percentage off across every live percentage offer gives a ranking that barely moves week to week. Volume and depth pull apart. Clothing & Accessories carries more live offers than any other category on this list and still lands in the bottom third of it.
Average percentage off across live percentage offers, categories with at least 200 offers. Measured August 19, 2026.
How the desk reads this
A high average does not mean a category is cheap. It means retailers there lean on percentage codes rather than flat dollar amounts, and a deep percentage on a low basket is worth less than a modest one on a large order.
