How to Use Promo Codes

A promo code only works if it matches the cart you actually have. Here is how
to use the codes on TroveCoupon, and what to do when one is rejected.

Using a code, step by step

1. Copy the code. On any brand page, click the code to copy
   it. Codes are listed with the biggest discount first.
2. Read the details line. It tells you what the code is
   supposed to do — sitewide, new customers only, minimum spend, one category.
   Most failed codes fail here.
3. Fill your cart on the brand’s site, then go to checkout.
4. Find the code box. It is usually labeled “Promo code”,
   “Discount code”, “Coupon”, or “Gift card” and sometimes hides behind a
   small “Have a code?” link near the order summary.
5. Paste and apply. Check that the order total actually drops
   before you pay — a code can be “accepted” and still discount nothing if it
   only applies to items you do not have.
6. If it fails, try the next code. That is why we list several
   per brand.

Getting the biggest discount

• Try more than one code. The largest percentage is not
  always the best deal — a $20-off code can beat 10% off a small cart.
• Watch the minimum spend. Adding an item you do not want to
  unlock a discount is not a saving.
• Check whether shipping is included. A free-shipping code
  can beat a percentage code on a light, cheap order.
• Brands rarely stack codes. Most checkouts accept exactly
  one. If a brand allows two, it will say so.
