Is it illegal to use coupon codes I found for a website?

I found some coupon codes for a pizza place listed on a website, but I don't actually have a coupon. Is it okay to use these codes? or will I get in trouble?Is it illegal to use coupon codes I found for a website?
If the pizza place authorizes the coupons, sure.



If they were scanned in by someone else, no, that's forgery. No different than using scanned dollars.
Its not illegal at all. I use http://www.gimmemorecoupons.com all the time. People write about these sites all the time, just check out hubpages and read them.

The coupon codes are instead of paper coupons. You can't really use a paper coupon online can you? So what companies do is issue coupon codes, which they pass on to website owners, who publish them so that people like you can use them.



There's nothing illegal, or even sneaky, about it. It's intended that you use them. Of course, the website owner hopes that you will use the link they provide to go to the site, and then use the coupon code, because that means they get a few cents commission for sending you to the site, which repays them for the trouble of publishing the coupon code. But you don't have to.
Not illegal or immoral.

Yes - Sensible and thrifty.

It is not illegal. It may be against the pizza place's policy, so they could just tell you no don't do that.



Most places don't care they just want your business. That's why they have the coupon codes.
I don't think it's illegal. Just go for it and if they tell you no, then that's about all they can do.
If your ordering online, go for it, its not illegal at all. If your getting it delivered, I don't know if you can or not.
If it doesn't say on the website that you must have the coupon, then go for it.
if it works, go ahead
