  • By Purchaser's Entire Family Tree

    • The specific user and all members of their family tree can use the code a combined total number of times. The redemption count includes all uses by the entire family tree.

Max Uses Per Purchaser:
The usage limits are counted based on either the quantity of each item purchased with the promo code or the number of checkouts where the promo code was used, depending on the Discount Method.

  • If unlimited uses is selected and the promo code has a total quantity limit, the promo code can be used until the limit is reached. Leaving the quantity blank allows unlimited use of the promo code.
