How to Stack Discounts: Sale Prices, Codes, Cashback and Rewards

How to stack discounts the right way: start from the sale price, add the best code, then loyalty points and cashback. Rules, examples and common traps.

Jenna Hayes By Jenna Hayes 2 min read

You can usually stack different types of saving, but rarely two promo codes. Start from the sale price, apply the single best promo code, then add loyalty points or rewards, and check whether cashback is allowed alongside a code before you buy.

Can I use two promo codes at once?

Usually not. Most stores accept one code per order. If you have two, apply each and keep whichever takes more off your total. Some stores let a code combine with free shipping or points.

In what order should I stack discounts?

  1. Sale price first. Check the sale or clearance section; on reduced items the sale price may already beat a code.
  2. Best promo code. Use one that's been tested; every code on PickMeADeal is tried at checkout first.
  3. Loyalty points and rewards. Examples: SwitchBot Points, The Ayurveda Experience's AyuRewards and EcoFlow's EcoCredits.
  4. Cashback, if allowed. Some programmes don't pay cashback when you use a code. For example, The Brush & Broom's affiliate terms say cashback can't be claimed with discount codes or voucher promotions.
  5. Payment perks. Pay-later plans (Klarna, Affirm, PayPal Pay in 3) spread the cost but aren't a discount, so don't let them push you to spend more.

Which discounts usually combine?

CombinationUsually allowed?
Sale price + promo codeSometimes; many codes exclude sale items
Promo code + free shipping thresholdOften
Promo code + loyalty pointsOften
Two promo codesRarely
Promo code + cashbackDepends on the cashback programme
Student discount + promo codeRarely

How do I get a bigger free-shipping saving?

Group purchases to hit the threshold, for example Xpluswear's $89, Baleaf's $75 or The Brush & Broom's £100. If you're close, add something you'd buy anyway rather than paying shipping.

What are the common stacking traps?

  • Codes that need a minimum spend, so removing an item cancels the discount.
  • "Up to" discounts that only apply to a few items.
  • First-order codes that won't work on an existing account.
