4. What are promotional codes?
A promotional code is a unique code that you use when shopping online to give yourself a better deal such as money off, or free delivery or a free gift.
You enter the code when prompted at checkout, and the retailer's site will automatically apply the offer. For instance, if the offer is £10 off an order value of £50 or more, you will see the cost of your purchase decrease by £10 if the starting cost is above £50. Simple!

C Click on the offer to show the code. The retailer's site will open in a separate window ready for you.
D Make a note of the code and start shopping at the retailer's site. When you're ready, move to the checkout.
E Enter the code where prompted to trigger the offer:
F The retailer will use the code to update your basket with the value of the offer. If any restrictions are shown, such as minimum spend, we will show these before you start shopping.
6. Is there any difference between promotional codes, voucher codes and discount codes?
No. The terms promotional codes, voucher codes and discount codes are identical and are interchangeable.

No, but you will find out first about the best offers if you sign up to our free weekly newsletter.
