What is deal stacking?

Lightning deals, coupons, and promo codes. The secret to maximizing Amazon savings.

February 02, 2024

Imagine you're at a grocery store. You have a coupon for your favorite cereal, it's also on a 'buy-one-get-one-free' promotion, and the store is offering a discount on breakfast items. So, you use your coupon, grab two cereal boxes for the price of one, and get the extra store discount. That's a triple win! This, in a nutshell, is deal stacking.

Similarly, on Amazon, deal stacking means combining different types of promotions and discounts — such as coupons, lightning deals, regular promotions, and promo codes — all on one product. By doing this, you can score huge savings on your purchase. It's like creating a "savings sandwich", where each layer adds more and more discounts!

You might be wondering, "How can I do this on Amazon?" Well, it’s not rocket science, but it does require some patience and alertness. Here's a simple step-by-step guide:

  1. Find a Product: Start by choosing a product you want to buy.

  2. Look for Coupons: Amazon often provides clickable coupons right on the product page. If there’s one available, make sure you "clip" it.

  3. Search for a Lightning Deal: Lightning Deals are promotions with a limited number of discounts for a short period. If the product you want is part of a Lightning Deal, add it to your cart before the deal ends.

  4. Apply a Promo Code: Do a quick search online for any additional promo codes that can be used at checkout.

  5. Check for Other Promotions: Sometimes, Amazon offers special promotions like 'buy one get one free' or 'save $10 when you spend $50'. If your product qualifies, these promotions will be automatically applied at checkout.
