  • Agents may not bid on Surety Bonds Co. Coupons, Surety Bonds Co. Discounts or other phrases implying coupons are available.
  • Agents may not generate pop-ups, pop-unders, iframes, frames, or any other seen or unseen actions that set agents’ cookies unless the user has expressed a clear and explicit interest in activating a specific saving by clicking on a marked link, button or image for that particular coupon or deal. Your link must send the visitor to the merchant site.
  • Users must be able to see coupon/deal/savings information and details before an agent cookie is set (i.e., “click here to see coupons and open a window to merchant site” is NOT allowed).
  • Agent sites may not have “Click for (or to see) Deal/Coupon” or any variation when no coupons or deals are available, and the click opens the merchant site or sets a cookie. Agents with such text on the merchant landing page will immediately be removed from the program.
