When I first started couponing, I felt very proud of myself if I could just match the right coupon with the right product (brand, size, flavor, etc.). As I got a little better, I learned how to stack a store coupon with a manufacturer coupon for extra savings.

But the magic really started happening when I began to study the art of stacking coupon codes online. Here are some hints and tips to help you master the basics of stacking coupon codes online.

Stacking defined

In the offline world, โ€œstackingโ€ commonly means โ€œusing one store coupon with one manufacturer coupon together for greater savingsโ€ (often used in addition to โ€œsaleโ€ items).

In the online world, the word โ€œstackingโ€ essentially means โ€œyou can use more than one coupon or coupon code per order.โ€

If coupons or codes are not stackable online or offline, there will be some fine print stating โ€œonly one per customer,โ€ โ€œonly one per order,โ€ or something similar.

How to stack coupon codes online

The mechanics of stacking coupon codes online is simple. When you go to your online cart to check out, there will be a blank box with a prompt that states something like โ€œenter coupon/promo/discount code here.โ€

For stackable online codes, in most cases (except where specifically instructed otherwise) you will enter each code one at a time, pressing โ€œenterโ€ after each to adjust your total balance to reflect all coupon codes.

You can double-check your work by looking at your online invoice before you payโ€”you should see all coupon codes reflected above your final amount owed. If one of your codes is for free shipping, then also check the โ€œshippingโ€ line to be sure the amount is zero.

An example of coupon code stacking

In addition to stacking the coupon codes themselves, there are additional ways you can find savings online by combining coupon codes with other perks.

Here is an example that includes many ways to save online by combining coupon codes, free shipping, first-time shopper rewards, frequent shopper rewards, credit card perks and ongoing sales.

Example: Letโ€™s say youโ€™re shopping Kohlโ€™s online store, where select merchandise is advertised at 50% off full retail value.

  • First, since youโ€™ve never shopped at Kohlโ€™s online before, you could sign up for the mailing list and get a 15% off code for first-time shoppers.

  • You could then use your store credit card to pay for the order, giving you an extra 15%, 20% or 30% off the total AND earning you rewards points that you can later redeem for like-cash savings (1 point = $1, get a $5 reward for every 100 points).
  • PLUS, you get $10 in Kohlโ€™s cash for every $50 you spend.
  • And you can stack code upon code for various items in your cart, include โ€œINTIMATES10โ€ for your lingerie, โ€œMENSTYLE10โ€ for your husbandโ€™s new shirt, etc.
  • Finally, by ordering $75+ of merchandise, you could enjoy free shipping with your order.
