Even worse are the well known voucher sites who promise codes for merchants who have never issued codes.
I discovered a 'code' for a major merchant of mine that offers £20 off. However, the code does not exist. Forced click - no code - false claim - p*ssed off visitor. And this is on a 'credible' site.
Why bundle every known affiliate link on to a site and trick the visitor into thinking there are codes available if it's not purely to overwrite the cookie?
The networks are very quiet on this.

what if the button says "use discount now" and the code is then shown when the retailers window has opened instead of reveal discount I assume that would also be a forced click
