“Active” is the most abused word in coupon listings. It usually means the page was published at some point, not that anyone checked today. You can verify a code yourself faster than you can read the claims about it.
The one-minute test
Put a single item in your cart, go to the checkout payment step, and paste the code. You will get one of three results, and each tells you something specific. A visible discount line means the code is live and applies to that item. An error message means the code is dead, region-locked, or not for your account type. Acceptance with no change to the total means the code is live but applies to nothing in your cart — try it with a different, non-discounted item before writing it off.
You can abandon the cart afterwards. Nothing is charged until you complete payment.
What to look for in a listing
A stated test date, and ideally what the code did when tested. Vague superlatives with no date are the tell of a page that has not been touched in a year. Our own codes carry the date they were last checked at a real checkout:

Why codes die
Campaign windows close, regional terms change, and account-specific offers were never public in the first place. None of this is unusual, which is why a dated source beats a confident one.
FAQ
Does testing a code cost anything?
No. You can apply a code and leave without paying.
Why does a code work for someone else but not me?
Region and account state are the usual reasons — new-account offers behave differently on an established account.
