The short answer: across 116 live coupon codes from 82 tracked GCC retailers, the median online discount is 10%, and half of all codes sit between 5% and 10%. The median is the same 10% in every market we track; what differs is choice: Saudi Arabia has 95 live codes, Egypt 11. Only 7 codes reach 20% or more, and the highest single figure in the index is 40%.

White Friday: what the big numbers really mean
Before the November sales, here is what the conditions on today’s codes look like. Of 137 live percentage codes from 91 retailers, 32 (23%) carry a condition on their headline figure:
- 15 (11%) apply to new users or the first order only.
- 11 (8%) are capped at a fixed amount (for example “10%, max 20 AED”).
- 10 (7%) apply to full-price items only, not to sale stock.
- 4 (3%) are limited to one category or item type.
Some codes carry more than one condition. 21 codes advertise two different figures (one rate for new users and another for returning users, or one for full-price items and another for sale items) — the bigger number is usually the conditional one. The typical code is 10%; only 7 single-figure codes reach 20% or more.
Practical: read the condition before the percentage. A big headline figure usually means new users only, a cap, or full-price items only.

Methodology (what’s counted, what isn’t)
- Source: CouponGizer’s list of active codes, checked against the codes live on our store pages on 5 October 2026.
- Counted: 116 codes with a single percentage figure, from 82 retailers. The median is the central figure because a few large codes pull the average up (average: 9.7%).
- Kept out of the medians but listed: 21 codes that advertise two different figures.
- Excluded: not a percentage (fixed amount, free delivery or no figure) (9); cashback (a different mechanism) (8); no store page on our site (5); paused / suspended in the sheet (3); no figure in the sheet (3); not live on our store page (1); duplicate row (1).
- Conditions (new users, caps, full price, category) are read from each code’s own terms and counted on its headline figure.
- Countries: a code valid in several markets counts once in each. Categories: from our category pages and each store’s own description; a store in two categories counts in both. Categories with fewer than 3 codes are not shown.
This is a transparent snapshot, refreshed quarterly and around major sales. It is not a claim about any individual product price.
