Instant Message Coupons & Promo Codes: 20% Off (April 2023)

This is how DealDrop finds coupons

At DealDrop, we always have an eye out for coupon and discount codes. We work with a lot of different partners that actively share coupons with us, and we also scan the web regularly for the latest codes that may be different from what's already been shared with us. Plus, we get direct feedback on promos from you when you submit a coupon.

This is how we verify Instant Message promo codes

We're shoppers too, and we know how frustrating it can be to find a coupon code that ends up not working. Here at DealDrop we do our best to keep that from happening a few ways:

• Your feedback: if you tried a coupon and it didn't work, please tell us! That way we can keep an eye on the success rate of the code, and once it reaches a certain threshold we pull it or put it in the "expired" category. When you share whether or not a coupon worked or didn't work, it helps us tweak our scanners and validate the sources we use for our coupons and codes.
• Fast publishing: We aim to publish coupon codes as rapidly as we find them, so if they have a short window for use (like Black Friday, Christmas or Cyber Monday), you'll have as much chance to use them as you can.

This is how you should use the Instant Message promo codes

All the coupons we include on DealDrop are for online stores rather than physical shops near you, so these coupon codes should really be used online when you're shopping.

From the Instant Message list of codes on the Instant Message page, click "Show Coupon Code" or for the code you want to copy. This should show a pop-up that has the code visible, and then click "copy code." Now the code is in your clipboard. From there, go to the website as you normally would (there should be a link to the store on the coupon listing page as well).

Once you get to the Instant Message checkout, paste the coupon code into the discount box. (Sometimes retailers will try to hide these fields, so if you don't see the option to add a coupon right away, look around for little text like "Have a discount code?" or "Want to add a coupon?").

If the code says "Get Deal" this is a promo that you don't need a code for and will be automatically applied on the website if you meet the coupon criteria.

Of course, if you want a more streamlined process for finding and using coupons, we also have a Chrome extension you can install in your browser that makes the search for promo codes a bit more straightforward.

My Instant Message discount code doesn't work

There are a few reasons why your promo code might not have worked:

• The code isn't valid for your items: Sometimes promo codes are product-specific, where maybe it would work for sandals, for example, and not sneakers.
• The code required a certain cart value: Some promos also are only valid once you spend a certain amount.
• The item you want is already on sale: Most of the time, discount codes don't stack and apply to items that are already on sale.
• The code is expired: Yes, sometimes this does happen, as all coupons expire eventually. We do our best to keep on top of expired coupons, there are a lot of shops online though! If you try using a code and you get the response that it's expired, please do let us know and we'll get it sorted as quickly as we can.

Here are some other tips on how to save money with Instant Message

There are a lot of different ways to save money on a lot of stores online without a discount code. A few common ways include:

• Sign up to the newsletter: A lot of the time, companies will offer first-time newsletter subscribers either a generic “welcome” promo code or a unique one specific to your email address. Typically these are max 25% off.
• Abandon your cart: While not all stores do this, a lot of the time if you go to the checkout and start to buy and fill out your details, get a few steps in, but leave before you enter your credit card details, some will send you a discount code in your email. Look out for an email like “You forgot something.” Many times these promos will be time-sensitive.
• Become a member: Sometimes stores have memberships, where you can build up points that then can be redeemed for certain benefits, like discounts off purchases, free shipping or perks you may not be able to get otherwise. Usually these are free programs to join.
• Refer other people: Sometimes stores will give you a discount if you share a unique referral link with your friends, family, or other people on the Internet and then those people buy from the store. Usually you'll get a discount after other people have bought from them using your link and not before.
• Read through our guide to saving money online: There are a few more tips to save money when shopping online that aren't included here.
