4. Click on the product image or product name to view the promotion.

5. Use the Add to Cart button on the desired product.

6. Navigate to your Amazon cart.

7. Click Proceed to checkout.

8. Ensure the discount is reflected in your total. If not, paste in the coupon code you copied earlier.

9. Check out with your preferred payment method and shipping address.

It’s that easy, really. Whether you need toilet paper, clothing, back-to-school supplies or a gift for a friend, odds are there’s a version of it that’s on sale with a coupon at Amazon.

Can I use multiple Amazon coupons on the same order?

Yes. You can add multiple products and discounts to your cart at the same time. Most Amazon coupons allow you to buy only a single unit of each product at the discounted rate, though. This means you can’t add 10 of a particular item and receive the discount on all of them, but you can add 10 different products to your cart from the promotions and receive the designated discount on each of them.

Amazon has deals of the day, every day. Maybe you’ll get your favorite item on sale for less.

What if I forget to use an Amazon coupon discount?

Amazon is pretty strict in its policies, and if the discount isn’t showing before you check out, the company won’t refund the difference. Before putting in your payment method, you’ll want to check your cart during this process to ensure that it shows the expected discount amount.

Don’t let your shopping end there. In addition to coupons, did you know Amazon has another whole section of discounted items with huge discounts? You don’t have to look too hard to find a discount, as long as you know the right sections of Amazon’s expansive site to shop.

Can I return products bought with Amazon coupons?

Yes. The coupons here have no bearing on Amazon’s return policy. You’ll still be able to return the item should it not meet your needs, but you’ll be refunded only the amount you paid for it. If there are multiple coupons on your order it may look a bit trickier, since the discount amount will be different, but you’ll be refunded the price of the item plus any applicable sales tax.
