# Using Creator Deals

Using creator deals on Aardvark is designed to be effortless.

There’s nothing to search for and nothing to remember. Deals appear only when they’re relevant — while you’re already on a brand’s site.

***

#### How deals show up

When you visit a brand’s website, Aardvark quietly checks whether any creators you follow have an active deal for that brand.

* If a deal is available, you’ll see it
* If not, you won’t see anything

This is intentional. Aardvark avoids distractions when there’s nothing useful to show.

***

#### Choosing a creator

Sometimes, more than one creator you follow may have a deal for the same brand.

When that happens, you can choose which creator you’d like to support. Once you select a creator, their deal is revealed and ready to use.

You’re always in control.

#### Using the deal

Depending on the brand, a deal might be:

* A promo code to apply at checkout
* A referral link that activates automatically

Either way, Aardvark makes it clear what to do — no guesswork required.

***

#### What if I don’t see a deal?

Not seeing a deal usually means one of three things:

* You’re not following a creator who has a deal for that brand
* The brand doesn’t currently have any creator deals on Aardvark
* The creator’s deal is no longer active

In those cases, Aardvark stays out of the way and lets you shop normally.

#### Supporting creators, transparently

Every deal on Aardvark is tied to a real creator.

When you use a creator’s deal, you’re supporting them directly — and you always know exactly who you’re supporting.
