I used this ChatGPT trick to look for coupon codes - and saved 25% on my dinner tonight
"It's Friday afternoon, and I'm wrapping up work. I've got my daughter's 4-year checkup with shots later, which means one thing: pizza night. That should put a smile on her face after our appointment. But before placing an order with Pizza Hut, I'm wondering if there are any coupons. I've gotten into the habit of asking free ChatGPT for coupon codes or promo codes whenever I'm shopping online. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But it only takes a few seconds, so why not try?"
"Over the past year, I've saved quite a bit this way. Also: I did 24 days of coding in 12 hours with a $20 AI tool - but there's one big pitfall Once, I even scored 50% off a Roborock vacuum just by asking ChatGPT to find me a code. It doesn't always work. I've been given expired or invalid codes plenty of times."
"With my Pizza Hut order loaded in the app, I switched over to free ChatGPT to look for promo codes before checking out. I used the following prompt: "Find me Pizza Hut coupon code for Friday September 12 2025 that will save me money." ChatGPT served up a list of codes. Promising, right? Well, sort of. When I plugged them into the Pizza Hut app, they applied at first but then came back with a message: not honored at this store."
Free ChatGPT can surface coupon and promo codes but often returns expired, invalid, or store-specific codes that are not honored. Including the current date in prompts seems to improve the chances of finding a usable code. ChatGPT has produced significant savings in some cases, including a reported 50% discount on a Roborock vacuum. ChatGPT Plus includes an Agent feature that may actively search the web and pull in more reliable codes. Tests with a Pizza Hut order showed codes that initially applied but were later rejected at the store. Coupon hunting with AI is quick but hit-or-miss.
