How to Apply a Promo Code or Coupon

Step-by-step guide to entering a promo code at Telm checkout: where the field is, the discount types (one-time, repeating, forever) and why one code applies.

4 min read
In short

Enter your code in the promotion code field on the checkout page before you pay. The discount is applied to the total right away. Only one discount can be used per checkout, so codes do not stack.

Apply a promo code on the group's subscription page.

1Where to enter a code

Promo codes are entered on the secure checkout page that opens when you start or change a subscription, not in a separate settings screen. The checkout page shows a field to add a promotion code just above the payment details.

Type or paste the code exactly, apply it, and the total updates with the discount before you confirm payment. Codes are not case-sensitive, so capitalisation does not matter.

2Types of discounts

A code can apply in one of three ways, depending on how it was issued: once (on your first payment only), repeating (for a set number of months), or forever (for as long as the subscription runs).

Some codes take a percentage off the price and others take a fixed amount off. Partner and campaign codes are common examples; the exact terms are set when the code is created.

3One discount per checkout

Only a single discount can be applied to a checkout. Codes do not stack, so entering a second code replaces the first rather than adding to it.

Sometimes a discount is already applied at checkout (for example a preselected offer). In that case the promotion code field may not appear, because a discount is in place.

The discounted price you see at checkout is what you pay. On repeating or forever codes, the discount continues on future renewals for as long as the code term lasts.

4If a code will not apply

If a code is rejected, check for typos and make sure it has not expired or been deactivated. A code that was archived by the partner or campaign that issued it stops being accepted at checkout.

If an automatic discount is already on the checkout, the manual code field may be hidden because a discount is applied. Complete or clear that checkout and try again, or contact support if the code should still be valid.
