Quick note: This article is general information intended to help you compare options. Product terms, prices, availability and policies can change, so check the provider’s current information before acting.

Calculate the final price

Include taxes, delivery, service fees and required add-ons where applicable. The final payable amount is more useful than the percentage discount.

Check eligibility

Some promotions are limited by country, new-user status, payment method, device, minimum order value or a specific time window.

Read exclusions

Look for excluded products, brands, locations, dates or categories. Promotional terms often define the real scope of an offer.

Check the merchant

Confirm the seller’s identity, contact information, return policy and payment process. For marketplaces, distinguish the platform from the individual seller.

Keep the terms

If a deal is important, save a copy or screenshot of the terms at the time you purchase. Promotions can change after the transaction.
