How do I apply a coupon code?
Step-by-step guide to using discount codes.
Applying a coupon code takes just a few seconds and can save you real money on your order. Here's how to do it, plus what to do if your code isn't working.
How to Apply a Coupon Code at Checkout
Step 1: Add items to your cart and click "Checkout" or go to your cart page
Step 2: Look for the "Coupon Code" or "Discount Code" field — it's typically located in your cart summary or during the checkout process
Step 3: Enter your code exactly as it appears — codes are case-sensitive, so "SAVE20" is different from "save20"
Step 4: Click "Apply"
Step 5: Verify the discount is reflected in your order total before completing your purchase
Step 6: Complete checkout — your discounted price is locked in once you place the order
Important: Always confirm the discount appears in your order summary before clicking "Place Order." Discounts cannot be applied retroactively after an order is completed.

Social Media:
- Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest
- We regularly share exclusive discount codes with our social media followers
- Flash sale codes are often announced on social media first

Code Not Working? Common Reasons and Fixes
If your coupon code isn't applying, here's what to check:
Typo or Extra Spaces
This is the most common issue.
- Copy and paste the code directly if possible rather than typing it manually
- Remove any spaces before or after the code
- Double-check capitalization — codes are case-sensitive
- Make sure you're entering the complete code (some codes are long)
Code Has Expired
Coupon codes have expiration dates.
- Check the email or promotion where you received the code for an expiration date
- If the code was from a limited-time promotion, it may have ended
- Some flash sale codes expire within hours, not days
Minimum Purchase Not Met
Some codes require a minimum order amount.
- Check the promotion terms for a minimum purchase requirement
- Your cart total before shipping and tax may need to meet the minimum
- Add another item to meet the threshold if needed
Excluded Items in Cart
Certain products or categories may be excluded from a promotion.
- Check the promotion terms for category exclusions
- Some codes may not work on sale items, clearance items, or certain product categories
- Try removing items one at a time to identify which product is excluded
Code Already Used
Most coupon codes are single-use.
- If you've used the code on a previous order, it won't work again
- Check your order history to see if you already used this code
- Some codes are one-per-customer, even if you have multiple accounts
Only One Code Per Order
You can only apply one coupon code per order.
- If you've already applied a different code, remove it first before trying the new one
- Choose the code that gives you the best discount
- Codes cannot be combined or stacked with each other
Not Combinable With Current Sale
Some codes cannot be used on items that are already on sale.
- Check the promotion terms for "not valid on sale items" or similar language
- The item in your cart may already have a promotional price applied
- In some cases, the sale price is already a better deal than the coupon code would provide
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
If you've checked the common reasons above and your code still won't work, try these steps:
Step 1: Remove the code from your cart, refresh the page, and re-enter it
Step 2: Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again
Step 3: Try a different browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge)
Step 4: Remove all items from your cart, re-add them, and then apply the code
Step 5: Try the mobile app if you're on a computer, or vice versa
Step 6: If none of the above works, contact us with the code and we'll help

Maximizing Your Coupon Savings
Stack Coupon Codes With Perks: While you can only use one coupon code per order, Perks membership benefits apply on top of any coupon discount:
- Apply your coupon code for the product discount
- Perks gives you free shipping — saving an additional $5-15
- Perks gives you 2% cashback — earned on the discounted total
- That's three layers of savings on one order
Example:
- Product price: $60
- Coupon code 15% off: -$9 = $51
- Perks free shipping: Save $7
- Perks 2% cashback: $1.02 back in your wallet
- Total saved: $17.02
Time Your Purchases:
- Use coupon codes during sales events for double savings (coupon + sale price, when combinable)
- Holiday periods often have the best coupon codes
- Sign up for email alerts so you never miss a promotion
Check Before Every Purchase:
- Always look for active promotions before checking out
- Check your email for recent Inspire Uplift promotions
- Look at the homepage for any banner announcements about active codes
- It takes 10 seconds to check and could save you real money
Types of Coupon Codes
Not all codes work the same way. Here are the types you might encounter:
Percentage Off: Applies a percentage discount to your order (e.g., "SAVE15" for 15% off). The discount is calculated on eligible items in your cart.
Fixed Dollar Amount Off: Takes a specific dollar amount off your order (e.g., "$10OFF" for $10 off). May require a minimum purchase amount.
Free Shipping: Waives the shipping fee on your order. If you're already a Perks member with free shipping, these codes won't add additional value.
Buy One Get One (BOGO): Gives you a free or discounted item when you purchase a qualifying item. Check the terms for which items qualify.
New Customer Codes: Available only for first-time purchases. Won't work if you've previously placed an order with the same account or email.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use multiple coupon codes on one order? A: No, only one coupon code can be applied per order. Choose the code that gives you the best discount. However, Perks benefits (free shipping, cashback) apply on top of any coupon code.
Q: Can I apply a coupon code to an order I already placed? A: If you contact us within 24 hours and the order hasn't shipped, we may be able to apply the discount. After shipping, retroactive discounts cannot be applied.
Q: My coupon code says "invalid." What does that mean? A: This typically means the code has expired, has already been used, doesn't apply to the items in your cart, or was entered incorrectly. Double-check the code and review the promotion terms.
Q: Do coupon codes work on the mobile app? A: Yes, coupon codes work on both our website and mobile app. The discount code field is in the same location during checkout.
Q: Can I share my coupon code with friends? A: Some codes are transferable and some are tied to specific accounts or email addresses. If a shared code doesn't work for your friend, it may be a single-account code. Encourage your friends to sign up for our email list to receive their own codes.
Q: Do Perks members get exclusive coupon codes? A: Perks members receive access to member-only deals and promotions, which may include exclusive discount codes. These are sent via email and announced to Perks members through our marketing channels.
Q: I found a coupon code online. Will it work? A: Third-party coupon websites sometimes list codes that are expired or invalid. For the most reliable codes, get them directly from our email newsletters, social media channels, or our website. If a code from a third-party site doesn't work, it's likely expired.
Q: Why did my discount disappear when I changed my cart? A: Some codes have minimum purchase requirements or only apply to specific products. If you remove items that brought your total above the minimum, or remove the eligible products, the discount may no longer apply. Re-check the code terms and adjust your cart accordingly.
