The "New Year" codes are 1-time-use and the % off seems to vary by customer.
I got a 25% off $100 code. It works for everything I have in my cart (but the conditions state "select categories". This is about as good as it gets these days!

Not any better. After the 30's dried up, I see much better codes here in this thread posted by others. Seems like they have some kind of algorithm or something, not everyone gets all the same codes emailed to us.
PM sent
Thanks!
I only get a 25% code a few times a year. Which is fine as I'm sure they are breaking even on those orders at best as I only buy what they're already competitive on without the discount. People need to keep this in mind and not expect endless discounts. Obviously not enough people are buying their overpriced items with codes, only competitively priced stuff. Shocking, I know ��

I have 355.00 in my cart if anyone can help me out . thanks
The one I got has different last four digits also. I just tried using mine & it says code expired or invalid. Tried using them on some files & it's not an excluded brand. I guess files are not considered hand tools?

I have a 25% off $100 or more on "select categories" (includes hand tools) that I am not going to use. Expires at midnight tonight (Central time). Code is NEWYEAR2LZ6 and is one-time use I think.

Doesn't sharing the code bypass the whole point... if Zoro's logic thinks i should get a 25 off $x to get me to buy, but i share my personal code, why should they send me another coupon? Not to mention it seems kind of unethical?

Zoro issues you a one time use discount code.
it gets used. the algorithm notes it was used, remembers that sending you a code results in a sale, and moves on to the next code.
now, they *could* tie it to your account somehow, but that won't be popular. you might have several email addresses for your organization associated with different internal accounts. they view you as the customer, and dont care about your internal structure. so they dont track it, assuming it occurred to them.
step back a bit. Zoro sends out codes because they want to encourage sales. sometimes it is because the month's sales are soft, but sometimes it is to encourage people to pull the trigger on their carts, or even to encourage them to come back and buy something if they haven't been around in awhile. the fact that the code gets used provides them valuable information, that a specific customer is paying attention to Zoro's communication. that itself is very valuable information. companies worry a lot about the penetration of their advertising, knowing what is effective and what isn't has substantial value. we are nearing the point, assuming we are not already there, where it is cost effective to tailor advertising to specific customers. they maintain a list of "sent a card" customers, a list of "emailed" customers. maybe a list of "facebook ad" customers. we might even get to a time where they can figure out exactly what deal will cause you to buy, and then offer you a coupon/discount that really is only for you.
so, because this is how I am warped, I paid attention. I found that, over the short term, codes getting used caused me to get codes more frequently, even if I were not the one using them. over the longer term, though, it dies down, and I return to lower amounts of less valuable (higher minimum) offers. I believe it is related to the freshness of my cart. if it doesn't change after a few coupons, things die down, even if the coupons are getting used.
ultimately, to really heat things up, all I need to do is make a purchase. this causes me to get regular offers, at least for a time. I assume to get me in the habit of buying there. unfortunately, I dont buy that often anywhere, so from the algorithm's point of view, it fails.
as for the ethics of the situation, I view this the same way I view the Home Depot Special Offer Return (buy one thing, get another for free. return part of the deal, because they break out the free item value across all the items' return values). these are big companies. they have it within their abilities to set it up however they want, and limit them however they want. I *assume* things are the way they are because it generates the most revenue, and people taking advantage of it are either a minor annoyance, or are dealt with in some other manner (like HD revoking your return privileges).
it would be simple for Zoro to limit the one use coupons to the individual they issued them to. for their own reasons, they dont. why would I question it?

Thanks for sharing the codes. Merchants like Zoro use coupons to encourage sales I doubt Zoro is losing money or losing sleep over someone using a coupon. I have the Honey extension in my browser that finds and applies coupons when you're checking out.

Just ordered off Zoro and was able to get 20 percent off and free shipping. Grainger's search function is better so I search Grainger first then look to see if it's at Zoro. Zoro can be cheaper than ordering with our Grainger account but doesn't have everything. We don't have enough volume to get much of a discount with Grainger but will use them for critical orders. Zoro and Grainger often ship from the same warehouse but Grainger service is faster and customer service is better.

Zoro coupons never apply to anything I'm interested in. The exclusion list is exhaustive...
My (Chase-issued, United Airlines branded) credit card does loads of time-limited deals where you get a statement credit of X% of your spend with a specific retailer.
I see they currently have 10% at Zoro.com. I don't believe Chase has any visibility on whether I used a discount code at Zoro, so I assume I effectively get 28% off $150+ at Zoro this week... ...might be worth checking offers at chase.com if you happen to have a Chase-issued CC.

Your right! I just checked my Chase Southwest CC acct online and I've got the offer; it's good for up to $30 back and expires on Feb. 5. I'm guessing it will stack with promo codes, but I wonder if we can stack a 4% TopCashBack discount on top of that?
Not the exact same thing, but I've used offers from Amex before combined with promo codes and cashback to maximize savings. My guess is that it would work the same way with Chase. I'm sure the written terms of the offer spell out any limitations like this.

Chuckles,
Did AURORA work for Proto?
EDIT: Sorry - I now see you have two different amounts to qualify for the discount.
Best regards,
