Using Codes - How to Use Codes - How to Find Codes

It's easy to use codes, everyone should use them. We think it's daft not to use codes when they are made freely available for anyone to use.

In most cases all that's involved is entering the code into the shopping basket or at the checkout.

Finding codes is easy, finding working codes is a bit harder, but you may find a better deal from another store along the way - which can often work out cheaper than a code anyway so it's always woth a few minutes research when shopping online.

Codes are often only valid for a few days or for selected products or when you spend over a certain amount and with thousands of of online stores offering codes neither the search engines and code site owners will ever be completely up to date so when you find a code make sure it works in the shopping basket or at the checkout before you part with your money.

Using a reputable code website like discountcodes.tv is a good start because DCTV offers powerful search results which shows you alternative merchants and you can also search for brands and labels.

They also offer free email alerts as new discount codes and deals are released which keeps you on top of all the latest working codes and short term deals.

It's also well worth signing up to newsletters from your favourite merchants because they often send codes to newsletter subscribers which are personalised or exclusive to members so these can't be published on code sites although you do sometimes find them on money saving forums.
