SHOPPING GUIDES

Turn an offer into a real saving

Good shopping decisions also consider eligibility, landed cost, return cost and alternatives when a code fails.

When a promo code fails

Confirm market, currency, customer type, app or web channel, minimum spend, discount cap, product status, payment method and stacking restrictions.

Compare landed cost

Subtract only confirmed discounts, then include delivery, tax, duty, payment and currency-conversion costs.

Estimate a refund

Start from the amount paid and identify delivery charges, return fees, duty and other amounts that may not be refundable.

Judge evidence quality

Treat missing sources, dates, eligibility conditions and sample sizes as uncertainty rather than proof.
