This wikiHow teaches you how to get an Amazon promotional code. The Amazon promotional code is an alphanumeric code that is entered into the special promotional code field before you complete your payment. You can take advantage of these and other discounts by browsing coupon sites, finding out what monthly deals are available, and learning how to browse Amazon.com. What's even better, you can get and use all of your Amazon coupons right away, without having to print or cut out any proof.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Getting Coupons from Amazon Coupons Page
Step 1. Visit https://www.amazon.com from a web browser
You can use a desktop or mobile web browser to access offers from Amazon.
You can also use the Amazon mobile app to view today's deals page (“Today's Deals”)
Step 2. Sign in to your Amazon account
Hover over the “Account & Lists” link, then click “ Sign In " Enter the Amazon account username and password in the appropriate fields, then click the “ Sign in " to continue. You will be logged into your account and redirected to the Amazon main page.
Step 3. Click Today's Deals
From the main page, click the link “ Today's Deals ” in the middle of the horizontal menu, below the search bar. You will be taken to a recent offers page which displays all the ongoing offers and promotions on Amazon.
- On the mobile app, you can find the " Today's Deals " link in the “☰“menu.
- Check the “Gold Box” and “Lightning Deals” segments on the first page. Both are very limited offers which are usually valid between 1-24 hours from the time the offer is uploaded. If you click the " Add to Cart " box, you don't need to type in the promotional code to get a discount as long as you buy the product in question within the specified time limit.
Step 4. Click Coupons
This option is in the page submenu that appears horizontally at the top of the page. You will be taken to the “Amazon Coupons” page at https://www.amazon.com/Coupons if you are using a phone or tablet. However, you will need to use a mobile web browser as you cannot get coupons through the Amazon mobile app.
- Coupons are products that include special Amazon offers, such as discounts (in percent) or “buy one, get one free” offers.
- Browse available coupons. Browse the page and see all available coupons. There are various coupons for groceries, electronics, books, and other products.
Step 5. Click Clip Coupon to add the coupon to the checkout page
The coupon you attach will automatically be applied when the coupon requirements are met (e.g. if you added a $3 off coupon for your Pampers diaper purchase, you need to add the appropriate diaper product to the shopping cart).
You can click the coupon to view it. For certain brand discount coupons (eg $3 off a laundry detergent brand), you can see all the products that can be purchased using the coupon. For other coupons that apply to a particular product, you will be taken to the product page to see the discount coupon (in green text) next to the "Coupon" label when the coupon is clicked
Step 6. Complete the payment process
Make sure the discount is displayed on the order page before you make a payment. If it doesn't appear, you may not have met the promotion requirements.
Make sure you complete the payment immediately after adding the coupon. You may want to compare the prices of items through a search engine to make sure the coupon you choose provides the lowest price. However, sometimes some coupons have a time limit so you can't wait weeks to use a coupon before making a purchase
Method 2 of 2: Getting Coupons from Other Websites
Step 1. Visit sites like RetailMeNot, DealMeCoupon, Tech Bargains, Catch Promos, Deal Coupon, Current Codes, and Savings.com
Browse these sites at the beginning of each month as new promotional codes are often uploaded at the beginning of the month.
Step 2. Type “Amazon” into the search bar on the site
Step 3. Find the coupon you want to use
Browse the sites and available coupon options to find the coupon you need. Some sites group coupons into categories such as " Electronics " and " Home Goods ".
Step 4. Evaluate the possible functioning of the promotional code
You can see the expiration date and success percentage next to the coupon as a guide when making your choice.
Step 5. Click the Use this Coupon tombol button or Activate.
Some sites will direct you to the Amazon site because these sites receive advertising fees for selling products originating from Amazon.
One of the advantages you get when you are directed directly to the Amazon site is that you don't have to re-type the promo code on the checkout page. However, you can search for other offers by writing or jotting down the code you previously found, then browsing Amazon using a different browser window if you prefer
Step 6. Visit Amazon.com
After that, add the product you want to buy to the shopping cart.
Step 7. Activate the promotional code you got
Type the code in the field below the total cost of the order on the shopping cart. After that, click “Apply” to apply or activate the promotional code.
Step 8. Complete the order and ship the product to the same address
Most promotional codes do not allow you to send the product to more than one recipient address.
Step 9. Complete your purchase
Step 10. Return to the coupon site you previously visited
After that, you can vote or review, depending on whether the promotional code taken can be used or not.
