Voucher codes and discounts
Applying a code, and knowing before you pay what it is worth.
Validate first. The message tells you exactly what you are getting.
Two places
A Have a Voucher Code? card on the plans page takes a code and validates it before you choose a plan. The checkout page has its own voucher field for applying one at the moment of paying.
Validating on the plans page first is the better order: you see what the code is worth against each tier before committing to one.
What validation tells you
Apply checks the code and reports plainly.
- A credit: Valid! £… credit will be applied to your account.
- A percentage: Valid! …% discount, with its duration — lifetime, for a number of months, or on the first billing cycle only — and the tier it unlocks.
- A failure: Could not validate voucher.
Read the duration. A percentage for the first billing cycle and the same percentage for life look almost identical in the message and are very different offers. The duration is the part worth checking before you plan a budget around it.
A validated code that is a credit can be redeemed directly; the card confirms when it has been. Remove or Clear takes it off again.
The education discount
The plans page carries a teacher and school discount, requested rather than applied automatically. It is a voucher issued to you rather than a code you find.
For an institution buying several seats, an organisation with invoice billing is usually the better route than individual discounted subscriptions — see When an organisation covers your account.
Two things to expect
A voucher that unlocks a tier still takes you through checkout, because a subscription has to exist for the discount to apply to.
And an account covered by an organisation cannot use one: paid plan checkout is not available there, so there is nothing for a voucher to discount.
