No shit. This is why you create a page on your site called "Discount Codes". You put in an email signup and offer a small discount coupon. You get the email address in case they abandon and you can re-market to them, and the discount so that they won't abandon, because they found what they were looking for and will complete the transaction. Google will rank you high because its your page and you catch at least some of the search traffic, and you give them what they want with the discount code and they will shop with you. Any retailer worth their salt knows this. Just because coupon sites can game SEO doesn't mean its a scam, it means they're just capitalizing on the fact that you're blind to your customers' behavior

Which is exactly what Kogan did and it's now the #2 result when you search for Kogan coupons www.kogan.com/au/kogan-discount-codes/‎ > Regular customers of Kogan know that our products are ALWAYS discounted. Very rarely do we release a Kogan Discount Code or a Kogan Discount Coupon The #1 result? A scammy looking site but don't worry because "59 people have used this today!" (unsuccessfully of course)

    Remove the trailing slash (which reappears when the page loads - 304?). I guess there's multiple URLs and some rewrite magic to get to this page for maximum SEO.

Pizza Hut UK are a good example of this. They have a vouchers page on their website which (obviously) ranks very highly for "Pizza Hut vouchers". It isn't reachable from any page on their site (that I know of), but it means any price-conscious consumers that spend two minutes googling end up with a decent voucher rather than spyware installed on their machine.
