What are Source Codes and how do I use them?

Definition of a Source Code: an alpha-numeric string used during checkout at a merchant web site designed to save the consumer money on the order being placed. You may also hear these being referred to as "promo source codes" or "source promo codes."

NOTE: there are other definitions for Source Code, which include an alphanumeric string used to decode software and games. This is not the type of source code we are referring to.

Where do I find Source Codes? At an online shopping portal like ShoppersResource.com. You can look for source codes in a variety of ways, including the Coupon Search function (see top left of each page), and a list of stores that provide online source codes. You can also look for Internet source codes by Category (see the menu to the left). Read the details of each source code thoroughly so you know what to expect during your web shopping experience.
