• Birthday celebration runs October 22–26 with exclusive deals, cash back offers, $20 payouts and a giveaway awarding 15 winners $500 each

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Twenty years after launching with approximately 1,000 coupon codes, RetailMeNot is celebrating two decades of helping shoppers make their money go further with a five-day Birthday Bash featuring exclusive deals, cash back offers and $20,000 in prizes and payouts.

From October 22 through October 26, shoppers can take part in the celebration through special savings opportunities, $20 payouts for select top users and for 100 consumers who download the RetailMeNot Rewards app during the event. The celebration also features the return of "Someone Deserves This," a giveaway awarding 15 winners $500 each to put toward everyday expenses, family needs or something meaningful to them.

The giveaway invites consumers to nominate themselves or someone else who could use a little extra breathing room. Entrants can share who deserves the prize, what they would use the money for and how $500 would make a difference, whether it goes toward groceries, gas, a family expense, a date night or a long-overdue purchase.

"For 20 years, RetailMeNot has helped consumers make the most of their money by making savings a more accessible part of the shopping experience," said Magali Darling, Chief Commercial Officer at RetailMeNot. "This milestone reflects how shopping has evolved and how we've continued to evolve alongside consumers. As we celebrate our anniversary, we're recognizing the shoppers who have made RetailMeNot part of their everyday lives and giving back to the community of shoppers who have shaped our journey."

Twenty years later, RetailMeNot has surfaced nearly 400,000 unique offers in 2026 year to date, reflecting the evolution of digital savings from simple coupon listings into a broader shopping and savings experience encompassing coupons, cash back, rewards, personalized deals and shopping tools.
