Jason Del Rey has been a business journalist for 15 years and has covered Amazon, Walmart, and the e-commerce industry for the last decade. He was a senior correspondent at Vox.

Fifteen years after its launch, Coupons.com appears ready to go public, filing paperwork today for a $100 million IPO. Unlike competitor RetailMeNot, which is known for its online coupon codes, Coupons.com is best-known for its selection of coupons to be used in brick-and-mortar stores. The company lost nearly $13 million in the first nine months of 2013 on revenue of $115 million.
