Hey PH community! I'm the founder of CHDR and we make free tools to help people save and track their money. Today we are launching the latest version of our Chrome Extension. Savings Radar by CHDR Financial is a browser extension designed to save students money whenever they shop online. A lot of merchants and services offer discounted rates for students, but most of the time people miss out on these deals because they simply don’t know about them. Never miss out on savings again. 💸 Also, as a special thanks to all of you hunters who download + signup with Facebook, we will enter you in our raffle for a brand new iPhone 7! The PH community will have 2 weeks (raffle drawing on the 22nd!) to gain additional entries through sharing the extension with friends.

I think extensions as a tool to find deals is a great idea and student discounts is a "coupon" that doesnt expire many times. So this is a pretty cool idea.

@maitrikkataria Thank you! Let us know if we save you any 💸💸💸💸💸

Do you have to be a student to use these discounts? How does the extension track whether you are a student or not?
Cole Oliver

@mrkevinhype Great question. Right now, we don't track if you're a student or not. In order to take advantage of the discounts online, the individual merchants will require some proof that you are a student (student email address or possibly a scan of your student ID). In the future we hope to provide one-stop verification so that you only prove you are a student to CHDR and we verify with the individual merchants as you shop.

Hey! This looks like a cool tool. I've installed it, but I don't understand how I access discounts? Nothing is appearing when I go on to Apple or Gap or Amazon (basically, the websites listen on your website). How does this work?

Also, check out my extension Pouch which recognises the ecommerce website you are on, and then displays the best promo codes. It is only like for UK retailers.

@ben_corrigan depending on the internet connection you have, the Chrome Extensions that are installed could be slowing each other down. After installation it should just pop up in the bottom left corner of the browser :)
