Ashley Madison Coupons
When I was asked if I could find Ashley Madison coupons, I wasn’t sure how that search would go. Online dating services tend to be fairly cheap for a 1-month membership, and I wasn’t sure whether they would offer additional savings (at least all the time).
At the same time, I wonder whether special promotions weren’t in place through specific times of the year to encourage signups or new full membership, so I didn’t immediately dismiss the idea of finding promotions for Ashley Madison membership. Of course, you might be wondering what I’m even talking about with this “Ashley Madison” character, so let me backtrack a second.
What Is Ashley Madison?
You might think the appropriate question to ask is “Who Is Ashley Madison?“, but Ashley Madison is an online dating site which has been around for 10 years now. There is no “Ashley Madison” per se, as the service was named by putting together two popular girl names back in 2001.
Founded in 2001 and owned by Avid Dating Life Incorporated, Ashley Madison’s Internet dating service is boasts nearly 8 million members, with about 700 thousand unique visitors to their site per month.
Ashley Madison Encourages Cheating?
The online dating service has raised controversy over the years with its saucy advertising, and it’s ads have been pulled from Super Bowl broadcasts before. When Ashley Madison has offered to buy naming rights for sports stadiums, these have been turned down. That’s because the Ashley Madison slogan, “Life is short. Have an affair,” has not endeared itself to many business people.
The head of Match dot com has accused Ashley Madison of encouraging people into infidelity (no duh, huh?), while Ashley Madison execs have replied that people are going to cheat because they want to cheat–not because of some ad campaign slogan. That’s probably right.
Ashley Madison Coupons at Retail Me Not
There aren’t a whole lot of Ashley Madison coupon codes at RetailMeNot, one of the leading online providers of coupons, discounts, and promo codes. All you’ll find the standard free shipping on orders over $100 (for orders of love products on the Ashley Madison website) and a coupon code for an unspecified discount.
Both of these promo codes have a success rate of less than 30%, so even if you decide you want one of these codes, you’re probably not going to be able to use them. Let’s move on.
More Ashley Madison Coupons
I next went to the “Coupon Snapshot” website to find online dating coupons. I found three coupons posted by member, but I learned quickly that the links to the coupon codes were valid. I got similar receptions on “Coupon Winner”, “Coupon Smarter”, and “Coupon Saver”. Coupon-Smarter gave the best information on the subject, letting you know up-front that no coupons had been submitted, which I appreciated.
Ashley Madison Prices
In the end, I gave up trying to find Ashley Madison coupons that gave you any savings, because I’m pretty sure they don’t exist. Ashley Madison is a free sign-up, though, if you want to post photos, receive photos, add members to your Favorite list, perform searches, receive winks, or reply to a Full Member.
If you want to become a Full Member, that’s going to cost you. Upgrading your account requires you to “Buy Credits”, which allows you to send a custom email, a priority message, or a virtual gift. Full membership also allows you to initiate a chat session.
Ashley Madison Coupon Codes
So there are no Ashley Madison coupons or discounts at present. The reader who inquired about getting online dating community coupons should check back on their site in the next few months, but there’s nothing to report at present. At least for now, my answer might save people the trouble of looking for themselves.
