Hints and tips
Shop during Amazon Prime Day: If you have a Prime membership, keep your eyes peeled for Amazon Prime Day, which usually takes place in July each year and offers up to 80% off Amazon products. It's a great time to grab tech at discounted prices, especially Amazon own-brand items, which are often reduced more than at any other time of year.
Keep an eye out for the limited-time Lightning Deals: Amazon's Lightning Deals offer great savings for a very brief period of time. They're a great way to snag some extra savings on your favourites, but don't put off making the most of them - they'll be gone before the day is out. You can save up to 40% on the price of selected products.
Use the Subscribe & Save service: If there are items you find yourself ordering on a regular basis, use Amazon's Subscribe & Save service to set up a subscription and you'll save 15% on the usual price of your order whilst removing some of the admin.
How to use Amazon discount codes
1. Choose one of our Amazon promo codes and click "Get Code" to reveal it.
2. Copy the code to your clipboard for later, then head to the Amazon AU website to start shopping.
3. Add the items you want to order to your shopping cart as you go.
4. When you're ready to buy, click on the shopping cart icon to review your order so far.
5. You'll need to add the coupon during the final checkout page. In the "Payment method" section, you'll find a discount code box that says "Add a gift card or promotion code or voucher."
6. Add your Amazon coupon code there, click Apply, and your total will change to reflect your discount.
7. Proceed through the rest of the checkout process as normal to place your order.
How we source coupon codes
The coupons you’ll find on Tom’s Guide have been sourced by our dedicated coupons team, who use the web, our relationships with retailers and our affiliate networks to find the latest codes. The offers on each coupon page are updated every few days to ensure we feature the freshest ways to save, and our commercial team (based in Sydney) also sources exclusive codes and sales info directly from some of the biggest retailers in Australia.
How we test coupon codes
All the coupon codes we list on our pages have been tested by our coupons team to check they work as intended before they’ve been uploaded. You’ll find a wide range of coupons on Tom’s Guide, including free shipping offers, student discounts, and savings on various kinds of products.
Unless otherwise noted, to ensure that all listed discount codes are available to use, we don’t include any one-time use or user-specific coupons. We also provide as much information as we can to keep things as clear as possible — any expiry dates or terms and conditions will be listed alongside the code. Look for the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text — you’ll be able to click this to expand this section for more details.
What to do if a discount code doesn’t work
We take care to only list tried and tested discount codes on our pages, so all coupons should be active and confer the listed discount or deal. However, although we keep up to date with expiry dates and any terms and conditions, sometimes retailers change these before we can update our pages.
Should a code fail to work as expected, check you meet any listed requirements. These can include minimum spends, multibuy offers, or product-specific promotions (such as "10% off selected tablets"). You can view all associated requirements by clicking “View terms and conditions” below your code.
If this does not solve your issue, you can contact our customer service team by emailing ecommau@futurenet.com. Make sure to let us know which coupon you were trying to use and which page this was listed on, and we’ll be in touch to help as soon as possible.
How we make money
Tom’s Guide makes money from discount codes through a commission-based model. We have agreements in place with each retailer on our site – for every purchase made using one of our coupons or deals, we earn a small percentage of the order total back in commission.
Thanks to this model, we can save our readers money without charging you a thing. You won’t pay a cent to get the discounts listed on our pages, so whichever code or deal you choose, you’ll get exactly what it says on the tin.
