Are you buying something from an online store? First check if there is a discount available!
Search discount
People no longer leave their home for many purchases. They search for what they need on the computer, telephone or tablet. And with a few mouse clicks the article is at home. Bargaining is rarely done in physical stores, and is not very common on the Internet. But a discount on a purchase can sometimes be found with some searching. Here are some tips to save money when shopping online. Discounts can also often be found on the internet for attractions.
Newsletter
Sometimes online stores give new customers a discount when they sign up for the site’s newsletter. There is usually a striking advertisement in which this is stated. Or a banner will appear with this announcement. What you do then is sign up for the newsletter. If necessary, confirm the registration and wait for the e-mail with the discount code to arrive. Then order the desired goods and use the discount code. This is often a one-time amount of money as a discount or free shipping costs. Once the purchase has been made, you may unsubscribe from the newsletter again.
cashback
This English word literally means ‘money back’. That’s a good description. Here’s how it works: you register with a cashback site. It has affiliated web stores. You make purchases in those stores via that site. A percentage of the purchase amount is kept separately and collected on the site. At a certain minimum amount, it is transferred to your account. So it is ‘discount afterwards’. Well-known cashback sites are Discount advantage, shopping discount and Euroclix. Tip: before you register, check the terms and conditions and which stores these sites work with.
discount codes
There are all kinds of websites that collect coupons or discount codes from online stores. You can enter these codes when ordering. It sounds very appealing, but we have to warn you right away: the codes often don’t work. Discount codes are usually only usable for a short time, but they remain on the internet for a long time. Of course you can always try. Well-known sites with discount codes are Discount code, MyDiscount and Actions.
Finally, it is always worth turning on Google. Use search terms like ‘discount’, ‘benefit’, ‘offer’ or ‘cheap’ with the name of the online store or attraction. This sometimes results in attractive bargains.
