Affiliates must use their own website which can include trademarks in the sub folders of the display URL e.g.

Deals, offers and voucher codes must be clearly separated

Hopefully this will help potential customers to find the real valid offers and codes without having to wade through the expired stuff first.

Great step forward, lets hope other merchants follow :tup

To enable us to do this with deals / offers a valid expiry date would be required (like voucher codes), at the moment we have to guess offer expiry dates (giving them a month or two), then have to extend them if we find they are still live and delete them if no longer available, but with the thousands of merchants this can become quite time consuming if no expiry date is given.

Simply saying bla bla offer has now ended is acceptable in some circumstances (ie while stocks last) but not ideal for most offers as it makes automated expiry date removal useless.

Maybe you should start at the top of the food chain and remove out of date content?

"£50 Off - January Savings"
"Save £50 this January"
"Save £50 on the selected product(s) below. Just enter the promo code JAN50 at the checkout stage once you've added the product(s) to your basket"
